Gardeners Have the Power!

Uploaded by kitchengardeners on Oct 29, 2009
Together, gardeners and good food advocates pitched in to help give the White House and the Obamas a healthy kitchen garden. Now it's time for gardeners around the world to work together again on a much bigger challenge: feeding a growing population with a rapidly degrading natural resource base and in a rapidly changing global climate. There are currently over 1 billion hungry people in the world and that number is set to rise as the global population rises from 6.7 billion to over 9 billion in 2050. While we don't know yet how we will feed all these new hungry people, we do know one thing for sure: planting more kitchen gardens - behind homes, schools, and in vacant urban lots - will be part of the solution. Kitchen Gardeners International is a 501c3 nonprofit community of 18,000 people from over 100 countries who are growing some of their own food and helping others to do the same.

Are you aware of the bills in the House and Senate (HR 8758 & S 425) That proposes the banning of Organic Gardening?! Youtube search; banning organic gardening, or go to CV1122's channel before giving the Obama's an award for anything...I Hope it's not true, but you know how often Gov't says that they want to help everyone, but then only end up hurting everyone.

What an incredible mission. Fresh produce grown in a sustainable manner should not be a privilege. Truly inspirational project.

Thank you Roger, for continuing to inspire us! :)
I have been thinking of approaching our County Executive about a 100+ acre "open space" here in town which is slated for "public development/use." Can you direct me to any useful materials I might utilize to help convince him that a community garden would be the best idea for some of that space?
(My former community garden in a neighboring town was PAVED for more parking, for yet another ball field! Grrr!)
