NYC Restoration Project Veggie Seed Giveaway | Green Talk™ — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 19:46:44 +0000

[...] Remember Eat the View, the campaign asking the Obamas to create a White House vegetable garden to feed the staff? Well, the campaign worked and Michelle Obama is busily creating an amazing organic garden at the White House. Feel like a little dirt under your fingernails or eating amazing home grown veggies? If you live in New York City, the New York Restoration Project along with Amy Goldman will be hosting the Vegetable Starts Seed Giveaway in community gardens around the City. So what’s the dirt on the event? On Saturday May 30th from 1 – 4:00 PM in three community gardens in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, the Seed Savers Exchange will distribute over 2000 heirloom seeds to registered community gardeners and local residents, to make gardening more accessible to New York communities. Experts will be on site to answer any questions and provide gardening tips and tricks. The selection of vegetable seeds that will be available was determined through suggestions submitted by the community. From tomatoes and corn to parsley and oregano, all of the seeds being given away are organic, untreated and have not been genetically engineered, exceeding industry standards and bringing high quality produce into the homes of New York residents for free. Amy Goldman, writer, passionate gardener and advocate of heirloom fruits and vegetables, has generously provided a majority of the seeds for the event.” [...]

I love this post . . . of course!!

Thank you, Anna, for the mention and for getting the word out. I embrace the Victory Garden movement. Not only does it put food on our plates but it does so in a way that reconnects us with the land, encourages biodiversity and techniques that improve rather than destory the topsoil and water, is relaxing and fun.

I would love to see Obama bring the White House into the 21st century and let the world know that the US will take action, something that every citizen can do.

I think if the new elected President Obama really make this dream into realization, It will surely inspire the rest of the world.

I think more countries will also follow his footsteps turning their “White Houses” into “Greener Houses”…
