The story below from <treehugger.com> and Planet Green reminded me of a note that came across our listserv a few months ago about an emerging initiative to bring folks who want to garden together with folks who have land - do any of yo recall WHO was spearheading that?
http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/01/land-sharing-is-trend.php 1.5.09 Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is a British national treasure. This writer, organic farmer, chef, and passionate believer in local communities, has a new venture: "Landshare"--a scheme which puts people with large unused gardens in touch with gardeners wanting space. He calls it a "food revolution destined to be the next great thing." With more people wanting to grow their own food and allotments being harder and harder to come by, he just may be right. "LandFit" is another group with the same ambit - bringing ignored land back into use. ::More LEVEL GREEN - fostering sustainable community through collaborative initiatives in hospitality, education and the arts, in the 150 year-old democratic spirit of the Danish Folk School. 1519 Slaterville Road, Ithaca, NY 14850 (607) 339-9472 _______________________________________________ For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins Questions about the list? ask [email protected] free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
