Urban Gardening

Gardening is GOOD for what ails us.

Are you skeptical? Does this seem to be too big a claim? Consider...

Gardening fights the causes of:
* Sea-Level Rise and Climate Change (produce is trucked 1,500 polluting miles on the average)
* Famine (grow it, eat it)
* Malnutrition (produce averages 2 Weeks from field to table, so it can't be fresh)
* Poverty (grow your own, and take care of yourself)
* Obesity (get off the couch, get off the junk-food)
* Diabetes (good food for good health)
* Apathy (gardens need caring people)
* Social Isolation (community gardens build communities)

How can I get started? We're glad you asked.
* Container gardening on balconies and terraces
* Raised beds on pavement and rocky ground
* Composting to create good dirt, the foundation of any garden.
