RE: NYC Community Garden Tours. . .

Relating to Dorene's email:

>From all that Adam has contributed to answering the many questions that 
have come across the ACGA listserv, I feel that he and his CCG crew
deserve 
a session or some type of visitation time slot to their garden.  

Without a doubt, he, via the ACGA listserv has assisted individuals and
promoted the ACGA organization (I love the "for the price of 2 beers and
a pizza" line) more than anyone.  If he didn't know the answer to a
question (this is rare), he would point the individual to someone who
could offer assistance. 

The ACGA organization has done an excellent job of offering various
workshops and sessions on horticulture, Food Security, Education, etc.
in this year's conference.  This variation of topics should satisfy all
attendees.  

Thinking in terms of community gardening; when someone mentions the
Clinton Community Garden, I think of NYC (and vice-versa).  

Dorene, I am puzzled as well. 

Keep up the good works Adam,

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?
