Neighbors tending neighborhoods - Garden Swap
Friday, October 17th, 2008Thanks to our friends at Homegrown Evolution for posting this:
Cultivating Sustainable Communities (CSC) is launching an innovative new project. GardenSwap is an opportunity to pair up urban gardeners with their neighbors who have yard space in order to grow and share in the produce profits of urban food gardens. CSC is currently taking preliminary requests for participation in this program.
How does it work?
GardenSwap is a program that pairs up people who want to garden with people who have gardening space. In urban neighborhoods, some people have yards, and some people don’t, so why not pair up those who have garden space with people who will actually use that space to grow food? In the process, everyone involved can share in the produce “profits”, get to know each other, and learn something new!
CSC is a Los Angeles-based organization - perhaps we could set up local groups here on HOMEGROWN.org where people can garden swap…
