Community Gardens/Farms

So... a new thing that I've been interested to is the community garden/farm. All of a sudden... I feel like I'm learning about them from all over the place! Here are some links to check out...

http://www.csalearningcenter.org/ --> we watched a documentary about this place as a part of the Nai Talim film festival

http://www.cityslickerfarms.org/ --> Sameer found out about this place, and both of us went to volunteer there last week! I'm going to try to go at least once weekly.

Both of these places are getting urban kids some hands-on experience of farming and gardening.... and are also involved in getting low-priced organic food to low-income households. They also are completely open to volunteers.... just great 'learning places'.

Then, while I was on BBC... I saw that Bush's best friend (ha ha...), Hugo Chavez has started some things on similar lines.... http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/spl/hi/picture_gallery/07/americas_harvest_in_caracas/html/1.stm
