How is our Monroeville Food Garden a model for the Food Not Lawns movement for our suburbs? We will discuss the opening of the Schwartz Living Market as a new model for hatching green businesses and linking the urban and suburban Food Not Lawns Movement with the urban core throught the Schwartz Living Market Transition Town process in Pittsburgh's Historic South Side. See http://1317eastcarson.blogspot.com for details and join us as our guest on Saturday, December 1, 2012, to get a preview of what's to come and to become part of the dialogue and creative process!
Sustainable Monroeville meetings are free and open to the public and are held at the Monroeville Public Library. We give thanks for our public library that has been hosting our meetings for the past almost four years. We are thrilled that the Monroeville Food Garden outside the library produced over 500 pounds of vegetables for five commmunity food banks for the second season in a row. Thanks to Lois, Sandy, Pam, the Girl Scouts and all of the other volunteers that continue to make this project a success. This permaculture style food garden has some of the healthiest soil around, and healthy living soil is a huge key to good health!
We look forward to being with you and eating and drinking with you on Monday evening! Elisa Beck:)
