Meeting Recap
.
We are sorry to have missed you at the Crenshaw Community Garden monthly meeting.
At the October meeting we discussed general clean-up. Please come to the next meeting prepared for a work day. We will be clearing out the back-fence area.
It was also decided that come January, all structures over 4 feet tall that shade other plots, are unsafe or are obstructing gardens will have to be re-built.
It was decided unanimously that come January all gardeners will be required to attend a minimum of six meetings annually. If you are unable to attend due to work commitments, you are excused. Otherwise, in July of 2009 if a gardener has not attended three meetings they will be notified and will lose gardening privileges in 2010.
Thank you to everyone who did attend (9 of 32 gardeners). We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting.

Garden Swap
.
Cultivating Sustainable Communities (CSC) is launching its newest project. GardenSwap is an opportunity to pair up urban gardeners with their neighbors who have yard space in order to grow and share in the profits of urban food gardens.
Urban gardens are not only fun; they support low-carbon food production, create economic development, inspire healthful eating, build community, create opporunities for education, address watershed health concerns, create productive green open space, and beautify communities.
CSC is currently taking requests for participation in this program. If you'd like to participate either as a gardener or a land owner who is willing to share yard space (and some garden profits!) with a neighbor (we'll help you find a neighbor), please contact me at gabriela@cscommunities.org.
Please forward this info to Los Angeles residents who may be interested in participating.
