Either way, I heard numerous times from more than a CGC Staff few people that Bill Moyer was doing an interview with author and Vickie Ciotti (x12) Vickie Ciotti environmentalist, Wendell Berry, so I Executive Director tuned in. [email protected] I’m not certain I’ve ever seen or heard an interview with Mr. ● Terry Houston (x18) Berry. He could be anyone’s grandfather, father or uncle. Executive Assistant His southern accent gives him a certain air of wisdom and [email protected] immediately you know he’s one of those true gentlemen. One of his first comments has stuck with me. He said that ● Jan Simms (x14) “we do not get to ask if we will be successful (in turning Volunteer Coordinator around the destruction of our environment), but rather we [email protected] must ask what is the right thing to do.” Although feasibility studies and public hearings have their place, there are some ● Peter Huttinger (x16) issues important enough that we must just get on with Community Gardens Coordinator actions directed at solving the problem. He doesn’t spend [email protected] time pointing the finger of blame, or as a former colleague ● Mary Dudley (x11) used to say “celebrating the problem” by talking it to death. Youth Education Coordinator He’s somewhat matter-of-fact in that we must just do what [email protected] we can; “do the right thing”. — Refreshing and empowering. I’m also reminded of an interview of Mary Beth King, owner ● Bennett Dowling, Horticulturist (x26) of Sweet Peace Bakery. She said “don’t do nothing because Horticulturist you can’t do everything.” I’m unsure if it’s an original quote, [email protected] but certainly the first time I had ever heard it. These words have become my mantra. How often have you felt Cara Hague, Horticulturist (x17) paralyzed by the enormity of work facing you? We all end [email protected] up sitting on the couch some days because we just don’t know where to begin in order to do all we must. Too often ● Ryan Mooney-Bullock (x22) the substantive problems our society faces seem Green Learning Station Coordinator overwhelming. It takes resolve and inspiration to believe [email protected] that my small individual actions will provide any real impact. It doesn’t take a great deal of research to find out just how ● Sam Dunlap (x35) quickly and dramatically those small actions add up to big School Gardens Coorinator changes. [email protected] Berry was asked how we could possibly find hope in our ● Roger Smith (x19) current situation. His response was (I’m paraphrasing) that Finance Manager we must map out the grounds of a legitimate, authentic [email protected] hope. “If you can find one good example, you have grounds for hope. Change yourself and you have reason for hope. “ ● Mary Lou Schueler (x17) It helps us get off the couch and begin to tackle the work – Bookkeeper even when we know we can’t do everything. Hope drives us [email protected] to do what we know is right.

  • Lets Move Community Garden Resource Guide
    Community Garden Resource Guide As part of Let’s Move Faith and Communities, First Lady Michelle Obama has challenged congregations and neighborhood organizations to plant gardens in their communities. There are many positive benefits to starting a community garden: increasing access to healthy, fresh food; improving soil and water quality; providing exercise for people within a wide range of physical ability; and creating the opportunity to teach about nutrition, agriculture, and ecology. In short, starting a garden can help make real and lasting change in communities. Whether you are new to gardening or have had many seasons in the soil, there are a wide variety of resources available to help you start a community garden at your organization or congregation. How do I get started? To learn more about the “how-to” for starting a new garden, the University of California Cooperative Extension’s Community Garden Start-Up Guide provides guidance on how to organize a sustainable garden site in your neighborhood. This is a great starting resource for your community garden: http://celosangeles.ucdavis.edu/files/97080.pdf. Where can I find technical assistance? The People’s Garden: This U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) initiative challenges people from all walks of life to create gardens through collaborative efforts. People’s Gardens vary in size and type, but all have a common purpose – to help the local community they’re within and the environment. Visit the People’s Garden website to find the garden closest to you or consider starting one in your community. Search their online database to find technical resources, financial resources, and garden-based curricula.

To address this issue, a backyard aquaponics program was implemented from 2010 to 2016 to offer additional avenues to food sovereignty in a rural predominantly Native Hawaiian community. Aquaponics provides a contained and sustainable food production system that models Native Hawaiian principles of land and water stewardship.

  • An Exploratory Study of Sensory Gardens
    An Exploratory Study of Sensory Gardens Hazreena Hussein Abstract This preliminary study explores the common issues of sensory gardens around the UK, by observing how they are utilized. Of the fourteen sensory gardens visited, eight were designed by landscape architects. One of these is a health-care centre for adults, another is a primary school and one other is accessible to the public. The rest are special schools, which cater for children with special needs. This study also involves conducting interviews with the designers, teachers, therapists and key expert of the subject. The teachers, therapists and key expert view was that designers should have close collaboration with the users before designing the actual sensory garden as designers often presume that they know what the needs of the users are and how users engaged with the multi-sensory environment. While designers noted that there is a lack of detailed guidelines available when designing sensory gardens for people with special needs. Introduction ‘The only difference in a sensory garden is that all these components (hard landscaping, soft landscaping, colours, textures and wildlife) must be carefully chosen and designed to appeal to the senses in such a way that they provide maximum sensory stimulation’. Lambe, L. (1995:114) Sensory gardens1 have evolved gradually from the traditional concept of a ‘garden for the blind’. The term ‘sensory garden’ has been very much over-used in recent years but, in a therapeutic context, it usually refers to a small garden that has been specially designed to fulfil the needs of a group of people who want to be involved in active gardening and who also enjoy the passive pleasures of being outdoors amongst plants (Gaskell, 1994).

  • At God's Table
    At God’s Table Food Justice for a Healthy World April 5-8, 2013 Welcome to EAD 2013! — the 11th annual national gathering of men and women of faith who want to be a force for change for the betterment of all. This high impact weekend, sponsored by the ecumenical Christian community, is grounded in biblical witness and shared traditions of justice, peace and integrity of creation. Our goal is to strengthen the Christian voice and mobilize for advocacy on specific U.S. domestic and international policy issues. This weekend, we will explore At God’s Table: Food Justice for a Healthy World. You will join nearly a thousand Christians advocating for a world in which every person, in present and future generations, has a place “At God’s Table.” EAD 2013 follows in the wake of national elections, a new Congress, a lingering Farm Bill debate, and devastating droughts and floods, all with lasting consequences for our society and world. Monday’s Lobby Day will be a critical time to raise our faith voices in support of ending hunger, improving nutrition, creating more just and sustainable food systems and protecting God’s creation – while advocating for a “Faithful Federal Budget.” In a world that produces enough food for everyone, EAD 2013 will explore the injustices in global food systems that leave one billion people hungry, create food price shocks that destabilize communities everywhere, and undermine God’s creation. At God’s Table, all are invited and fed, and the poorest in our midst are given a special place. Together we will seek the abundance and equality that we find reflected in the biblical image of God’s great banquet table (Exodus 16:16-18 & Luke 14:12-24).
