Ben;
I would suggest you look under the county listings in your phone book for the
local extension office and ask for the Master Gardeners. I am sure they would
step to the fore.

Happy day, ALL!
Hope the gardening season is going well!
I am sending this out as simply a feeler. Please, do not think you are
committing to anything if you respond!
I know that farmers and gardeners are the most generous, caring, kind, helpful
sort imaginable... so that is why I am posing the following question:
I am working on a project that would try to incorporate organic gardening, and
healthy eating into the curriculum of an urban school in the Buffalo, NY
area. It is the very early stages of the project, but I am thinking that if
asked, local farmers and people that are passionate and knowledgeable about
farming and gardening.. like people on this thread... would be willing to come
to the school and talk to the kids. Perhaps even participate in some sort of
Farmer's market.
Is that something that anyone in this area would even consider?
Let me repeat... I am just doing a survey...I just want to see is I can
present the idea that local gardening folks would be interested in talk
gardening to kids.
I promise... I will not email you if you respond.
As I said... I just want to get a sense of the area.
Thanks!
Ben
