[Community_garden] New Orleans gathering

[Don Boekelheide]

Hi, all,

Many know this already, but for those who haven't
heard, next summer's American Community Gardening
Association conference is going to be in New Orleans.
ACGA is a good outfit, a loose coalition of a lot of
different folks and perspectives, but in spite of
their differences pretty much all share a deep
commitment to social justice and food security.

I agree with Diane, lots of people need to know about
and be inspired by your fine work, Lanette.

To get more info on their conference, which they are
billing as a "different" kind of conference where
folks roll up their sleeves and actually help with
projects (I think), check out the ACGA website at
www.communitygarden.org.

Good luck, Lanette, and you may want to check in with
ACGA and local community gardeners - might be a source
of some help.
