It is nice to live in an urban area where gardening and farming is alive. I just received a copy of a bulletin detailing the 2009 Kansas City Urbane Farms & Gardens Tour to be held Sunday, June 28, 2009 from 10AM-5PM. http://urbanfarmstourkc.com/
"Food from the City, For the City" was chosen to introduce the idea that growing food is happening and should be happening in our neighborhoods. The idea of making our cities more beautiful with productive gardens and farms and our ability to use gardening to lower food costs, provide income, raise property values, and reduce crime is a theme for this year's garden tour.
Empty lots are changed to green areas and rain water is captured before running into our sewer system. Gardening provides therapy in times of stress and teach life lessons in love, caring, and responsibility.
Farms and gardens are well described in this bulletin. Many are tied into school systems for youth education. Important ideas on ecology and environment are being taught. They are located in both Missouri and in Kansas.
The following website is given for more information: http://urbanfarmstourkc.com/
SEE YOU THERE!!!!
