Hi Jeff,
I am a new member to AGCA and of course do not recall the post. However, I am in the organizing stage now in my neigbhborhood to do just that. We have many gardeners - old and new. But, there's been very little sharing with each other - both produce, knowledge, and elbow grease :-) Although I am not looking to make a profit; my intent is for us to be better neighbors; sustain our families with fresh produce, teach kids about gardening, gleaning and supplying the abundance to those in need. Located in North Oakland next to Berkeley, California (affectionally called Bordertown); the climate is perfect to start this month preparing the land and planting more winter vegetables. I've planted and maintained a garden in this location for the past 3 years -- in ground, raise beds, in containers in my backyard, in my front yard, and strawberries and herbs indoors. However, I've been gardening for 1/2 century. I'd love to chat with you and anyone interested in this concept as I am a new organizer of Victory Garden Networks (VGN); but not new to organizing - I'm a project manager. And, I invite anyone in the area to contact me if you are interested in starting a VGN. Regards, Victory V Lee, Family Western Herbalist The Victory Garden Foundation www.VictoryGardenFoundation.org P.S.: My name is really Victory :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Campbell" <[email protected]> To: "community garden" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 5, 2009 1:16:27 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: [Community_garden] seeking help I saw or read something within the last year or so about a fellow that manages backyard gardens in his neighborhood. He makes arrangements with neighbors to set up these vegetable gardens, and then manages them. He makes a variety of arrangements including shared produce, profits, etc. He tries to get them close together where he can be weeding one while watering another across the street. I cannot remember where I saw or read about this. Does anyone know about this? I would appreciate being able to reconnect with this info.
