RE: CG's in Buffalo? Contact the Massachusetts Avenue Project.

Hello Laura,

I would recommend the community gardens run by the Massachussetts Avenue Project (MAP) on Buffalo's West Side.  I have worked with them for a number of years and they are superb with kids.  They have a particularly strong summer gardening program, which is attended by about 40 kids from the inner-city area.  The program emphasizes leadership training, which may be particulary beneficial.  I think Adam's referring to MAP as well - since some of their kids and staff often attend seminars and conferences around the country. The MAP project director, Diane Picard, is on this list serve so she may respond to you directly, otherwise you can write to her at: dpnoc@mass-ave.org.

MAP also has a new website with more information at: http://www.mass-ave.org/

Good luck,

Samina Raja
Buffalo, NY

	Laura,

	At the "Growing Comunities," seminar last winter, there were some really 
	good guys from Buffalo's community gardens in attendance. They were the kind of 
	guys whom I sensed had come through a number of serious challenges in their 
	growing's ups and had become really strong, committed young men - the kind that
	 gives old baby boomers hope about the continuity of community gardening
	after  the first founding generations are gone.

	Gerard Lordahl, who was one of the organizers, along with Lenny Librizzi 
	should have the attendee list and could possibly pass on their names - I alas 
	forgot their names.

	Regards,
	Adam Honigman
	Hell's Kitchen, NY
