At the beginning of 2009, I had an idea to help share the work of my dear friend Eugene Cooke. Eugene is a father, a painter and an urban farmer who has designed and installed edible gardens with businesses and families in Los Angeles, Washington DC, Atlanta, Kenya and more. Eugene’s talks are brimming with helpful information about HOW to garden but more importantly - he reminds us WHY we tend the garden - to be grounded, to have a childlike sense of wonder about the world around us, to build community. Planting as a service. Each talk is complete unto itself and each gathering is unique, informative and inspiring. Whether you’re gardening in spaces large and small or just enjoying your weekly trip to the farmer's market, there is a very real reason that growing food is getting so much attention these days. The organic garden at the White House, Alice Waters’ work on “The Edible Schoolyard”, CNN headlines such as “Urban Farming is Like a Revolution”, “Urban Farms Renew Communities,” articles in magazines like Parenting, AARP, Yogi Times, LA Yoga - this subject is timely and important with plenty of interest from folks of all backgrounds. Many of us are led here by health concerns, financial or social reasons but once we begin we become aware of the great web of life that we have always been surrounded by and are now actively participating in! Abundance, |
