Have a Great Community Garden Day !
Letter from the Publisher
Greetings !
I love Community Gardens . I believe that they can help stop Hunger in America and from around the World in a short moment . Although , it can ’ t be fixed completely , Hunger can be won at short notice once we can have more done . In this Publication , there will be many subjects that we will touch upon . We all need each other . Food Hubs , Hydroponics and Aquaponics , Urban Farms , Small Farms , Small Farm incubators , Distribution sites , Processing , Production Kitchens , Vertical Gardens , School and University Gardens , Gardens for the Seniors , and , much , much more , all touch upon one main theme : Feeding ourselves and feeding others with FRESH healthy Fruits and Vegetables .
I don ’ t have a Green Thumb , but , have helped in my Family Garden for decades . Being older , it is container Gardening . Just my size . I am always thrilled when folks start a Community Garden no matter where it is , what State , City , Town , or School . It is always so neat to see these folks go after their passion . To see them grow in their knowledge and understanding what fits them is priceless , beyond words . Do remember to Donate one row out of your Community Garden to a local Food Pantry or local Food Bank . Studies have shown that folks will grab the FRESH food items faster than the canned goods . As fast as you can help fill in their shelves the FRESH food flies into their basket .
No matter the reason you start a Community Garden . It is needed . There can ’ t be enough Community Gardens started . One out of six people , or seven , depending upon where you live , are going Hungry TODAY . They are making harsh decisions of paying for a car repair , a dentist appointment , some new shoes , or , new clothing , versus eating today . An unexpected Emergency crept up and destroyed their budget . It happens . If there was a Community Garden nearby where they live , they could still have a GREAT meal tonight , or , at lunch , and still function . How many Community Gardens can you start today and help allow more folks to have dignity to make sure they have a meal on the table for them and , or , their Family .
Come join us on this Great adventure of “ Community Garden ” Magazine . We all share in the passion to set things right , in todays World , for a brighter Today and future . Your help is needed to make this World of ours better . You can make a HUGE difference in folks lives , in your town , and in your Neighborhood today . In time , the Editor will be on board and she will make this structure look like a ‘ normal ’ Magazine look . I ’ m just here to get this started . The message is just too important to wait . Start a Community Garden Today !
Have a Great Community Garden Day !
