Letter from the Publisher
Greetings ! It has been a whirl of time getting you this issue and soon rolling out the next Issue of “ Community Garden ”. There is a lot of news to share , in time we ’ ll get those Videos in place to share with you . Plus , I am hoping to have a Mobile APP in place for you to use . It is all Exciting ! Definetly a whirl wind of activity . There are also search engines to add , more servicing management for a Digital Magazine …. so much more to do to have the product I want you to Enjoy !
In time , an Editor will be in place and she knows how to do all of this Technology stuff . I ’ m just getting it up and running and then helping to shape the messages we want to share with you . There is so much going on in Community Gardens and other Food Systems in the United States , it is always changing . And , Thankfully , in the World .
Community Gardens are started with a Mission in mind . You are wanting to help or benefit some Group of folks . This is what separates us from the other Food System components . We are started to help a Group of people as a Mission . The goal is to make an impact , change lives , increase someone ’ s chance to have better nutrition . We have a mission .
Farmers Markets can use some of our folks produce or fruits to sell . There can be some pocket change in someone ’ s purse as they adjust from one job to another , or , work to find a Job that pays them enough not only to live but thrive . Community Gardens are here to serve a purpose . We want to feed others and in doing so feed ourselves .
Join the bandwagon …. more Community Gardens are coming ! More Schools , more Corporations starting a Community Garden , more Groups are gravitating toward starting more ways to feed folks , and , it just makes good economic sense to make sure all folks are fed .
Contact the American Community Gardening Association if you have any Questions , needs , or , need steering what to do in starting your Community Garden . Start several as the need is there . THANKS ! to all who volunteer or donate to a Community Garden where you live , work , or play .
It is needed . Every one that is started .
Write us at communitygardenmagpublisher @ gmail . com if you have any story ideas , or , Questions . If you have any Video that you want to share with us to use in the Digital Magazine please send that also . Lets all learn and grow together !
Have a Great Community Garden Day !
