[RP TownTalk] community garden talk at UMD

[Melissa Avery]

Hello Arboretum Supporter – Join us this Wednesday at noon to find out how community gardens build community! – Carin
 
Subject       : Arboretum Talk -- Elements of a Successful Community Garden
When          : Wednesday, December 05, 2012 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM
Where         : Arboretum outreach Center at the Apiary
 
This talk is a "must" for anyone involved in food gardening, or who wants to get involved! Christie Balch from UM Extension will share with us her insights and experience with successful community gardening. Christie came to Maryland from Troy Gardens, a community farm in Madison, Wisconsin, and she now heads UMD's Sheridan Street Garden at the Center for Educational Partnership in Riverdale. With her interns, she is generating amazing changes to the climate for urban agriculture in Prince George's County (chickens, anyone?). She is a dynamic speaker, so don't miss this one! (Maybe we can also ask her to talk a bit about her recent travel to Afghanistan where she trained extension educators.)
