Hello and thank you to all who came to the first Food Not Lawns meet-up and event.
It was great to meet everyone (I think there were about 25 or so of us!) learn a little about each other, and share our thoughts and ideas about what we might do as a group.
We have a wealth of experience and passion among us and I'm really excited to see in what ways we can support each other in our ambitions and projects.
We decided to meet the last Sunday of the month, at the same time of 2:00 -5:00 p.m. (though I can imagine being more flexible about that when the weather warms and we incorporate potlucks into the agenda).
Our next meeting will be Sunday, Feb. 27, 2011. Thanks to Laura for taking down topics of interest and for helping to define the focus for next time: where we are in the gardening year, planning, seed-starting, (what to plant and when) maybe soil prep. We seemed to outgrow the Levey room, so we'll be on the lookout for another location to be announced.
There are lots of seeds left. I'll bring them along. As part of the discussion of "what to plant, when" maybe we can get an idea of who is planting what for a future plant swap.
If you aren't familiar with Heather C. Flores' work, I hope you have a chance to check out the website I hope and her book. CH library does have a copy.
Looking forward to our next meeting.
Stay warm,
Mari
