I just got back from the annual American Community Gardening Conference, which was held in Atlanta, GA this year!
News to report: I did not melt under the hot, Georgia sun. I met lots of amazing, down-to-earth people building communities and gardens across the country. I visited some bonafide Southern gardens. And, I got completely soaked in a rainstorm at the annual barbeque, but it was totally worth it.
A blues band played on the porch while we ate ribs, corn, and sweet potatoes. yum!
Visiting the Heritage Village Community Garden, one of the Henry Gardens near Atlanta. The building is an old corn crib from the neighboring farm.
Okra!
One of my favorite parts of the conference was the talk by keynote speaker Yvonne Sanders Butler, who started a sugar-free policy at her school in Atlanta, and has become an author and major activist for better nutrition (and physical exercise) in schools. Totally inspiring!
