[Community_garden] Thriving CG program in mid-size city?

[Amy DeShon]

It's not the West, but try looking at Kalamazoo, MI. Look for Dr. Ken
Dahlberg at Western Michigan University. Look at the Kalamazoo Gazette,
Sunday May 13, 2007 for an article on Mattie Jordan and the Northside. Also
just seek for information on community gardens in Kalamazoo. Even look at
the Kalamazoo Nature Center.

Hi all,
  I am looking to see if there are any thriving community garden programs in
any mid-size cities with demographics comparable to Tacoma, WA (which does
not have a thriving program). See Tacoma demographics at:
http://tacoma.areaconnect.com/statistics.htm

  It would be great if another city had other similarities, like being in
the West, deindustrializing (but not an economic basketcase), etc. The
recent flurry about Newark NJ got me thinking about this, but Newark is
nothing like Tacoma, except in size of population.

  Thanks in advance for any leads.
Steven
