Andrew,

You should go to the ACGA website,   <A 
HREF="http://www.communitygarden.org/";>American Community Gardening 
Association</A> , and the world famous City Farmer site, 
 <A HREF="http://www.cityfarmer.org/";>Click here: City Farmer's Urban 
Agriculture Notes</A>  for international contacts. 

You may find the American Friends Sarajevo Community Garden project to 
particularly interesting: 

 I prefer to  remember Sarajevo as it was in 1984, the beautiful host city of 
the XIV Winter Olympics. However,  for many Sarajevo represents a horrible 
civil war,  a city under siege with citzens fighting starvation by growing 
food in urban plots while dodging sniper fire.  A comparison of 1984 and 1994 
Sarajevo:

- Sarajevo Zone                  </A> 

During former NYC Mayor Giuliani's spate of community garden bulldozings I 
always thought, "This ain't nothing...  at least there aren't snipers trying 
to kill us with high powered rifles. Now those Sarajevans are really 
committed community gardeners!"

The American Friends Committee is now helping these heroic community 
gardeners help themselves.  A contingent of these amazing folks attended the 
NYC ACGA conference last July - I take my hats off to them.  

Here is a link to the American Friends Committee's Sarajevo community garden 
project:
