Help us organize the 350 Garden Challenge!!

Transition Sebastopol is hosting an organizing meeting for the 350 Garden Challenge on Wednesday March 24th at 7pm.  The 350 Garden Challenge's goal is to create (or expand)  350 waterwise food gardens in Sonoma County on the weekend of May 15-16.  

Every community in the county will be organizing their area and Transition Sebastopol is taking on the West County. We hope to bring together local food, water conservation, and community and tie it into the 350 movement to cut greenhouse emissions.  We need help in doing outreach and publicity, organizing a couple model, higher profile gardens and coordinating logistics and volunteers. 

The goals of the 350 Garden Challenge are simple:

• Create a healthy homegrown food supply
• Save water and cut greenhouse gas emissions
• Support local businesses
• Build community and beautify our neighborhoods

There are many ways to get involved from starting a garden to helping get the word out. Learn more about the project at www.igrowsonoma.org. Find all kinds of resources on what kinds of plants to grow and how to grow them here.
