Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the devastating tornado that struck Oklahoma yesterday. Recovering from this tragedy will not be fast or easy, but it will happen. As one sign of hope, consider this before and after image of the Piermont Community Garden in New York (one of KGI’s Sow It Forward grantees) which was all but washed away last fall by Hurricane Sandy and which now thrives again. We’re rooting for you, Oklahomans, to do the same!

Here’s some great news from the Positive Energetics Foundation of Hawaii, one of our Sow It Forward grantees. They’re using their grant to grow a bountiful garden which supplies the local WIC program on the north shore of Oahu with vibrant, fresh veggies. Keep up the good work!

I’m relatively young and in good health, but not too young to start thinking about my edible garden bucket list. What food gardens in the US or abroad would like to see if time and money were no object? The gardens pictured here are some of the famous ones, but maybe there are some lesser-known ones that should be considered for their inspirational power.

It’s still too early for homegrown happy hour, but here’s a hugely helpful 13 minute video about homebrewing. I had a chance to watch this process in person this past summer when visiting my sister and brother-in-law in Long Beach, CA.  My brother-in-law is taking his own brewing to the next level by growing some of his own hops.  Cheers, Roger

rogerdoiron: I’m so delighted that the White House Kitchen Garden also won another 4yr term. Let’s keep the homegrown momentum building and work to broaden the country’s good food movement.
