Good Food

Max is visiting from Holland to do research on the Lansing and Detroit food systems...what a tangled web we weave...and that's a good thing.  Numerous inter-connections and partnerships are the order of the day.

The Michigan Good Food Summit is this Thursday at the Lansing Center!  Have a say in food systems policy at the statewide level.  Another chance to network is coming up March 25th: the local community food conference entitled Growing Our Food System, Nourishing Our People.  You can register online for both events (just follow the links).

Interested in growing your own food this year?  Check out the workshops, classes, and other events at Let's Garden Lansing.  A number of local agencies provide community and home garden services:  The Garden Project (a program of the Greater Lansing Food Bank) is the place to go if you're considering starting a new group garden, looking for garden space around town, or interested in support for your gardening at home.  More neighborhood-based programs include South Lansing Community Development Association and the Northwest Initiative's Food Systems Project,   Allen Neighborhood Center's HunterPark Garden House is hosting, among other things, a first-friday-of-the-month movie series in the greenhouse!  Next Friday March 5th features "King Corn".

Are you an experienced gardener looking to help some newbies?  Check out the Garden Mentor Mixer coming up at Lett's Community Center on Tuesday, March 2.  

What with all this brouhaha around gardening, opportunities abound to expand your comfort zone.

And who knows, you might end up in a Dutch dissertation.

another good thing about gardening is the exercise factor. after all the shoveling i did last year to create my beds and then add compost, my abdominals and arms were toned like woah. then i got pregnant, so I'm definitely looking forward to some dirt-inspired fitness again.
also, gardeners just seem like happier people. these events are probably chockfulla kindness.
