Hi, My name is Samantha and I'm currently living in Vancouver, B.C. I've recently received a scholarship to attend the ACGA annual conference, rooting for the future and am looking for a way to get there and also a place to stay in the city. My transportation is a the main concern, as busses and planes are both really expensive between the two cities. Is anyone heading to the conference from Vancouver, Seattle or another city close to the border??? Also, anyone know of any cheap, but decent places to stay in Los Angeles or any Los Angeles community garden groups that I could approach for a billet? Let me know if you have any tips, please reply to me directly and not to the list. Thanks Alot, Samantha Charlton
Molly MacDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escribis: Hi everyone I am part of an organization that links groups that want to start a community garden with community partners who have land to offer. We're a brand new group and are still learning the ins and outs of community gardening. We've recently linked an anti-poverty advocacy group with a local museum that has land in their courtyard. The land has been tilled and plots prepared, but the museum has now said that planting cannot take place unless the gardeners come up with insurance. Since all of them are on welfare or disability this is hardly a fair request. I was just wondering what other people's experience has been with this sort of issue. Is there a precedent for lawsuits in community gardens? Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to quell the museum's fears, navigate this situation etc? Thank you. Tired of spam? Yahoo!
