Having problems with message search?
Ken (& All )-
This was a suggestion that we use the upcoming
second annual mid-winter
If anyone would like to be part of the school
and/or youth planning tracks please let me know and send along some best dates/times/locations
and I will arrange meeting together. Defining the school and youth garden track(s?)
and related community interface with those that care is definitely the way we
want to go. Last year we had a mix of presentations and tracks with youth gardening
as one track. Maybe this year we could focus more on the school approaches and
what ever else would be helpful (like policy/ start-up kits/ summer
programming/ your ideas?). Or we may want to do this work in another manner separately
or some combination of the two. I expect that there will likely be a good
number of like minded folks at the Conference that can help in these efforts.
Sharon Lezberg, a longtime local activist
in matters of local food and community gardens (and a member of the City
Gardens Committee) is very interested in moving towards a more comprehensive school
gardens policy approach and linking various efforts such as Farm to School to
school gardens but she is busy until mid December on another project.
Let me know what you think!

Hello,
Slow Food Madison, here. We certainly want to do get together, share some local
as well as national and international initiatives that are underway.
Looking forward to great growing, eating and enjoying our veggies in 2007!!!

advice on how to keep a school gardening program going in South Africa, and
suspect that we all have similar challenges. Would you be interested in
spending, say, a half day getting together to re-energize, get ready for next
spring and think about how we can keep gardening momentum going here?
