gardening information in multiple languages

Y* M*

Dear Community Gardeners,
Do you have access to gardening information available in languages 
other than English? I am trying to find out if there are any materials 
like this that exist already that my organization could reproduce and 
distribute.

I am an Americorps member with an organization called Lettuce Link, 
which provides gardening resources and information to people with 
limited incomes in Seattle. We serve most of our clients through food 
banks. A large part of this population does not understand or read 
English. Thus, we are seeking basic vegetable gardening information to 
give to people when we give them seeds or gardening materials.

Helpful information would include:
*	a list of vegetable names with their corresponding english words
*	basic instructions on how to start seeds in the garden: ie. spacing, 
how to water, keep moist, plant at the right time of year, loose soil, 
warmth, light etc.
*	container gardening
*	a planting chart for the Maritime Northwest
*	Tips for growing common vegetable crops (several crops on one or two 
pages)

If you have any information available in any language, if you have 
undertaken such an endeavor before, if you have tips on how to get such 
materials, or if you would like to help translate materials, please let 
me know. Your help would be a valuable contribution to others!
