Grow free food for and with our neighbors and community, start front yard community gardens for all to share and make friends over a garden bed. Farmers markets are a great option, but we can take this a step further by turning ALL vacant land, both at home and around the town, into a free food garden. We have become so dependent on others in order to eat, and stay alive, that when money becomes a
n issue we can actually starve - with all this land around us. So: https://www.facebook.com/commongroundalbany
Gardeners get together in communities and share your knowledge, let's teach how to grow and share food in schools as a seriously fun subject from year one up to the end of high school; incorporate this with the cooking classes. Let's create a healthy and health conscious community. Teach your children how to garden and they will eat vegetables. :)
We started with an old trailer at the car park entrance to 1849 Backpackers, filling it up with soil and planting it with seeds and seedlings. When they are ready, come by and pick what you need. If you have gardening knowledge, seeds, seedlings and cuttings to share, please do. Leave them in front yards, give them to your neighbors or to us and we will pass them on or plant them in passing. Food always used to be FREE, we have just let it get expensive.
