[FIG-ALL] Community Gardens

[Daniel Barclay and Marjorie Allison]

Hello everyone,

The USDA community garden grant proposal has been submitted!  I want  
to thank everyone in FIG and those of you who are friends of FIG and  
read this listserve for any work, equipment, or monetary commitments  
you made to the community garden proposal.  Your contribution will  
help turn the proposal into real, actual, community gardens in our area.

Dr. Rob Porter's message announcing the submission of the grant  
appears below along with several documents that were generated to  
support the grant.  He mentions a possible community garden planning  
meeting after the holidays and FIG will keep you posted about that.

Thank you,

Dan Barclay, Chair
Food Initiatives Group
