Jenn,

Try this link: 

http://www.cce.ufl.edu/past/commgardens/

I don't know how old this link is,it says that, 
"Florida has several community gardens programs. Tampa, St. Petersburg, 
Delray Beach, Orlando, Miami, Jacksonville and most recently, Sarasota, all 
have community gardens in lower income and blighted areas. Land is typically 
found through city agencies and the projects are supported by partnerships 
consisting of combinations of local governments, county extension services, 
waste authorities, private donations and volunteers, and social service 
organizations."

My best guess would be to contact the Florida State Extension agents who 
cover the municipalities listed above. Who knows, by hooking up with these 
gardens, and their funders, you might be able to organize a better event than 
you thought possible.

Please remember, though, to have a table containing ACGA technical, 
educational and membership materials.  Currently, yours is the only Florida 
group on our website.  We know we have more "family" in your state. Please 
help us learn who they are.  Florida might be a great place to have an ACGA 
conference!

Best wishes,

 Hi.

 Are there any Florida community gardeners, or community garden coordinators 
out there?

 I'm a community garden coordinator for Neighborhood Nutrition Network in 
Gainesville, Florida.

 I'm looking to plan a fun and support-building State Community Gardening 
event in the Fall.

 If you live in Florida, or have connections to those who do, please send 
them my contact info:

 Thanks a lot,
