RE: New Indian garden needs input

H* A*

Hi Karen, 

We once had a Mohawk ( ironworker, of course)  from upstate New York who
gardened in our NYC community garden with his girlfriend, but I don't think
that counts ;) 
Seriously, you should go to the website of the American Community Gardening
Association http://www.communitygarden.org and click on the links, printing
out the stuff that you like.You may want to hook up with community gardens
from the Portland area as a resource:
http://www.parks.ci.portland.or.us/Parks/CommunityGardens.htm

Here's the ACGA link on starting a community garden.
http://www.communitygarden.org/pubs/starting.html

Having gardened with community gardeners from all over the world at the
Clinton Community Garden in NYC, http://www.clintoncommunitygarden.org , I
think that organizing the garden so that is is both fun and fair is really
helpful.

Best wishes,
Adam Honigman

Subject: [cg] New Indian garden needs input

Members of  the Umatilla Indian Reservation are exploring options for
creating a community garden and wonder if there are other community gardens
in Indian Country who could share experience, ideas, successes?  

We are located in eastern Oregon, on the Columbia Plateau, get 14-22 inches
of rain annually, and have minimal experience with row cropping
historically, or presently.  Most agriculture out here is dry land wheat.
Local community is small, but our health problems relating to diet, lack of
exercise  and cultural cohesion are getting bigger.

Looking forward to input from others in a similar situation!
