Community Gardens in Gainesville

Hey gang,
In case you don't have land, you can always plant at property of friend's, family, a park, or a community garden.
Neighborhood Nutrition Network used to have a list of the area gardens, but they are under. I found this great article that lists them. Also, if you want to plant at the berry farm, talk to Michael.

Anyone have updates, addresses, &/or contact info for these??

The 31st Ave garden is one of five in a program run by the city of Gainesville.
The others are the Grove Street Neighborhood Community Garden on NW 4th Street and
10th Avenue, the McRorie Community Garden at SE 4th Avenue and 6th Terrace, Green
Acres in the Sugarfoot neighborhood off Newberry Road and an unnamed garden on
Williston Road east of 34th Street.

Fluoride and Gainesville's Water

Sept.18, 2009 --FLUORIDE UPDATE

PLEASE ACT NOW; WE HAVE A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO INPUT OUR COMMENTS ON GAINESVILLE'S WATER FLUORIDATION.

Please take advantage of this chance to tell the city commissioners what you feel about this while the Regional Utilities Committee is deciding whether the issue warrants taking to the whole commission or not, a decision that might be finalized on Oct.8 at the next RUC meeting.

Let them know you want them to look at the science and not accept blanket reassurances from agencies that in reality don't protect the public very well. Check the facts at www.fluoridealert.org and www.keepers-of-the-well.org and http://www.just-think-it.com/f-facts.htm and http://www.slweb.org/ and http://www.sierraclub.org/policy/conservation/water_fluoridation.aspx (The Sierra Club position against fluoridation).
