We are changing our name from Friends of Burlington Gardens to Vermont Community Garden Network, which has been the name of our statewide program since 2006. This reflects our mission to support the hundreds of garden communities across the state. Meanwhile, our established local programs continue to provide fun, hands-on garden education in Burlington and offer models for the rest of the state and beyond. Be on the lookout for our new website with more information about the state's growing network of community and school gardens and new ways for garden leaders to connect to and learn from each other! -----Original Message----- From: Community_garden [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jo Monday Sent: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 6:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Community_garden] Teaching hospital gardens Anyone know of a teaching hospital with a garden or attempts at such a worthy endeavor?
