Robyn,

Pat couldn't be more right about relying on im/migrants who know about
farming! Scratch a new, low-income residents in your community and you'll
find, sadly, more folks who were farmers (or a generation removed) than
you'd suspect. If this is the case in NYC, then it probably applies to your
neck of the woods too.

I'm not a video fan - I like cook and garden books too much, but here are
some video links for you anyway

A commercial, organic gardening site:

This may be a bit too technical for your entry level gardener, but the
Northeast Organic Farming Association video project has some tremendous
videos on their site:

Happy gardening,

Adam Honigman

Both of these websites offer video & instructional materials.   Good luck.

Aslo, never underestimate the collective, innate wisdom of your
participants.
Perhaps you have im/migrants from rural south, Caribean, s.e. asia who can
contribute valuable, indigenous wisdom if encouraged?

Hi,

My first message, i've been reading the emails for  6 months. I am working
to develop a program to teach adults and children in low  income
communities the skills of vegetable gardening (for the Maryland
Cooperative Extension). I've been searching on the internet for resources
and  see lots of children's curriculums and materials but no adult ones.
Does  anyone have any ideas or names of teaching materials especially
visual aids like  videos, slide shows or flip charts?
Unfortunately i couldn't attend the conference,  needed to find a place to
live by Aug. 1st. I'm sure that would have been a  great resource.

Thanks,

Robyn Jacobs
