Re: NYC Community Garden Tours. . .

S* P*

I personally would love maps of all the gardens so that I can do some of my own touring! I would love it if something like that was floated around to people going to the conference, and yes I too would love to see the Clinton garden.

Hmmm, very puzzling -- one of the MAJOR reasons Frank and I decided to make 
the ACGA NYC conference our honeymoon is that we both wanted to see the 
Clinton Community Garden!  I think I can speak for many on the listserve 
and say that the Clinton Community Garden is both an inspiration and a 
motivating factor to help me/us go out there and make our own community 
gardens the lifeblood of our own communities the way CCG is in Hell's 
Kitchen.

How can we have the ACGA National Conference in NYC and *not* have the 
Clinton Community Garden on the garden tour?  Personally, I have learned so 
much from this group that I can't imagine not getting to see both the space 
itself and getting to meet in person the amazing folks who have managed to 
keep this garden going.

What does everyone else think?
