Community gardeners from across North Carolina will gather for a day
of learning, networking and fun on Saturday, November 9, 2013, at Durham Tech
in Durham, NC.
The event, Nurturing Sustainable Community Gardens: How To Get
Rooted In Your Community, will feature presentations on community gardening
topics from food raising to fundraising, a community garden tour of the Briggs
Avenue Community Garden, and a lively Pecha Kucha showcase of creative garden
ideas.
Dr. Lucy Bradley of NCSU will give an overview of community
gardening across North Carolina.
“Help spread the word to anyone interested, and please attend if you
can,” writes Don Boekelheide, a longtime community gardener in the Charlotte
region.
“Not only will you really enjoy meet like-minded folks from all over
the state and pick up great contacts and cool ideas, you'll have a great time
and eat well.”
School gardens are part of the agenda, he adds, and so is finding
grants and support.
The event is sponsored by the North Carolina Community Garden
Partners (NCCGP) and Nourishing North Carolina.
