More Gardens!

A dispatch from the field:

Jessi Golly's friend at Indy Media posted a piece about the summer camp conducted by the More Gardens Coalition in New York. I think the kids in the neighborhood learned a lot and had some fun. I know for sure that the counselors, especially the tall guy in the middle at right, learned a lot.

More Gardens Summer Camp Final Barbecue

For nine weeks this summer neighborhood kids learned about local ecology and gardening through the summer camp offered by More Gardens, a group which advocates for and helps maintain community gardens in the Bronx. On the last day of camp on Friday, the kids enjoyed a barbecue and paraded through the neighborhood.
