- Urban Gardeners Needed in Russia Next Spring
-
-
- Skilled urban gardeners are needed in Moscow and St. Petersburg
- next spring to help train inner city Russians in small space,
- high yield, community gardening and minifarming.
-
- The call for training is the latest phase of an agricultural
- initiative launched last March by the Center for Citizen
- Initiatives in San Francisco to help city dwellers in the
- former Soviet Union raise more of their own food.
-
- Russian growers are particularly interested in bio-intensive,
- sustainable agriculture methods. The trainers will live
- with Russian families in Moscow and St. Petersburg and work
- on inner-city plots being offered by city districts, schools
- and other groups and at nearby minifarms; they will also give
- evening and weekend seminars and workshops. For more info--
- call 415-346-1875.
