 Hi all--
 I've just moved to New Brunswick, NJ and am working with the Public Interest 
 Research Group (PIRG) based at Rutgers College.  I'm interested in getting 
 community gardens on the agenda as part of our huge hunger and homelessness 
 campaign and am wondering if anyone knows of gardens in or near New 
Brunswick, 
 NJ.  Also, any contacts...community folks, professors, etc. would be great 
as 
 I'm new to the area and trying to learn who's here and doing cool things.  
 Please reply directly to me so I'm sure not to miss the message at 
 melliott@njpirgstudents.org OR maelliott@vassar.edu

 Thanks so much,
 Matt Elliott
