Re: Decline in edible gardening

Hello Jeff,
    Our chapter of the MG's does exactly that... works with grade school 
children in the summer. Also with handicapped in a separate garden. 
Volunteers for this summer's teaching are already lined up. We are lucky 
enough to have property donated by the local Optimist club for gardens. A 
bit easier to deal with than school systems.
