Promoting a Gardening Community
A garden is more than just a means of providing food, it is a model of what is possible in your community - and produce healthy, nutritious organic food - promoting a more sustainable way of living that would encourage their local economy - a farmers market, a place to pass on gardening experience, and a sharing of bounty.
Since most of the nation's food is produced by less than 2% of the population, by using an organic bio-intensive mini-gardening method, everyone could be part of the solution.
We nurture ourselves as we nurture our gardens, renewing our connection with the earth and her beauty, thereby reducing stress on the world's finite resources, and strengthening our community as a whole in the process. Without community we can be overwhelmed by forces that seem outside our control - we can pool our enthusiasm, our resources, our knowledge, and, together, we can grow.
