RE: Vietnamese/ Lao gardens

H* A*

Chris,

Don Lambert coordinates Gardeners in Community Development,  "the oldest,
best, and
almost only community gardening group in north Texas",  with many Vietnamese
and Cambodian/Lao gardeners. I've attached the website for his garden. The
"Visitor's Guide to Community Gardens" has some interesting material on
Asian gardens

  http://community.dallasnews.com/dmn/growingpeople

Gardening in Community Development is doing a very interesting fall
festival, and if you can get there on Sunday the 30th, you will undoubtedly
get some great information and interviews.

From a flyer that Don forwarded me ( sometimes I get these last minute
business trips and can make garden visits)

Don gives lectures to local garden groups on many of the South East Asian
vegetables that gardeners grow in local community gardens. Amazing stuff. 

Talk about looking beyond your garden gates ( all the way to the other side
of the world!)

Best wishes
Adam Honigman
