Greetings--
I would like to announce a new urban garden project in Washington, D.C., The 7th Street Garden! The 7th Street is located in the heart of D.C.'s Shaw neighborhood. The Garden is a highly productive community food garden wherein low income residents learn to grow, utilize and market local, seasonal and affordable produce. The Garden will greatly contribute to food security, economic opportunity and enhance the environmental in this community. As well, we are committed to creating a site that demonstrates urban environmental sustainability. The 7th Street Garden will educate and engage youth and adults, instill a sense of neighborhood pride where ideas can flourish, senses will be engaged, defenses will be disarmed and multidisciplinary educational opportunities will abound.

The Garden's official opening day is March 31st and we are offering an Introduction to Urban Food Gardens course (also known as Intro to Permaculture) April 6-8. Our web site is http://www.the7thstreetgarden.squarespace.com
