Dear ACGA members: Please join me for a free screening and discussion of my documentary "A Community of Gardeners" at the U.S. Botanic Garden in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, March 14 at 6:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required at http://1.usa.gov/UwUfqB or call (202) 225-1116. Doors open at 6 p.m. The U.S. Botanic Garden is located at 100 Maryland Ave., SW, Washington, D.C., a few blocks from the Federal Center SW Metro station on the Orange and Blue lines. The event will take place in the Conservatory Classroom.
"A Community of Gardeners" shows how seven community gardens in Washington, D.C. are transforming people's lives, their communities and their environment. The documentary also traces the history of community gardens in the U.S., from the potato patch farms of the late 19th century, to the victory gardens of World War II, to community gardening's current renaissance. "A Community of Gardeners" has been airing on PBS stations nationwide and is being distributed to non-profit and community-based organizations, k-12 schools, colleges and universities, government agencies, businesses and individuals. To learn more about the film, visit http://www.communityofgardeners.com. The documentary will also be shown in Sacramento, California as part of the Sacramento Food Film Festival on Saturday, March 16 at 1 p.m. at the Guild Theater.
