Re: starting a garden club locally -

**A*@aol.com**

You contacted the American Community Gardening Association Listserve whose 
core mission, while it serves some garden club members and master gardeners, is 
the promotion of, advocacy for and information exchange on the topic community 
gardening in the United States and Canada.  Here is our website.   <A 
HREF="http://www.communitygarden.org/";>American Community Gardening Association</A>  
. By reading through the site, you will probably get most of the general 
information you need. 

You are undoubtedly involved with your local agricultural extension in Rhode 
Island. I don't know if you know about the Rhode Island Sustainability 
Coalition that has organized some school vegetable gardens in your state, <A 
HREF="http://www.sustainableri.org/schoolgardens.cfm";>RI Sustainablity Coalition</A> 
or the Southside Community Land Trust in South Providence ,  <A 
HREF="http://users.ids.net/~sclt/mission.htm";>Southside Community Land Trust</A> that has 
created both school and community gardens: <A 
HREF="http://users.ids.net/~sclt/gardens.htm";>South Providence Community Gardens</A> . 

[Note for our extraordinary webmaster, Jim Call: Interestingly, the Southside 
Community Land Trust website has posted a link to the ACGA.  As we do not 
have any Rhode Island links on the ACGA website, we could do worse than to 
include the Southside Community Land Trust under gardens and a link to the RI 
Sustainability coalition on our site.]

 To whom it concerns,
 I have been thinking about starting a garden club ( an non profit 
 organization) in my community for a few years now.  I am working on my 
master gardener 
 pin currently, and I know I need to meet with someone in my town to ask 
 permission to use the town name, etc....but what else can anyone of you 
suggest???
 Help!!!
