I’m working on a proper write-up of the Slow Money Gathering but there is just so much to say. Until I can wrap my head around it here are my pictures from my 3 day visit to Shelburne Farms and the Hadwick, VT farm tours.

Just want to share a link to a nice write up in the O-Sentinel about Urban Gardening titled:”Our future FarmVille?” by Víctor Manuel Ramos. While I knew about the Winter Park Health Foundations $150k grant for community gardens in our area it was news to me that:
“The University of Central Florida partnered with the city-managed Get Active Orlando fitness initiative to provide thousands of dollars for the Orlando community gardens — funded through a $1.3 million grant from the National Institutes of Health for programs encouraging physical activity.”
Thank you Victor for the coverage and hats off to Patty Sheehan and other City Commissioners for supporting the community gardening effort.
Today I visited the Winter Park Community Garden behind First Pres Winter Park. I shot some video and took some still of this incredible community garden. I’ll be posting more about the visit and the awesome young lady who is the garden curator soon.
But wanted to share this video with you before the weekend was over. I caught wind of this thank Emily Ruff at the Homegrown Co-op. She posted about Transition Orlando and their upcoming gathering. While there I learned about the 350 Garden Challenge and ended up spending some time in my garden pruning, watering, transplanting and picking a spot to plant my kiwi’s tomorrow. I hope you find this video as inspiring as I did.
