Reaching out to teach parents and their kids how to grow organic fruits and vegetables
Imagine that our backyards and front yards get a new face lift from simply grass lawns into bountiful productive organic gardens.
Imagine that diverse communities come together to communicate freely ,plant and harvest crops rather than spend leisure time watching TV or playing video games.
As we come close to celebrate the Earth Day next month, we come together to make the GREEN dream a reality by just planting the seeds and awakening the awareness of growing our own food right at home .
Where there is a farm there will be a farmer.The median age of US farmers is between fifty and sixty.As farmers age and as farms become the next endangered "species", the need to reach out and teach a new generation of farmers become of an essential priority.
Transforming our communities into safe havens for our children through the introduction of productive gardens will have so many rewards and benefits.
That will beautify our communities with edible flowers like sunflower and nasturium. It will put bread on the table.It will reduce grocery and medical bills .IT WILL GATHER FRIENDS and FAMILIES ,CHILDREN ,GRANDCHILDREN ,Husband and Wife .All will come together to plant the seeds and gather the backyard crops .
In Japan and Sweden, gardeniong is officially considered as a THERAPY, where Organic productive gardens are available at hospitals for patients as a healing module!Here in the US we have the blessing of vast lands and resources.What we need is to come together and work out the LAND with our hands and hearts to make America more beautiful and bountiful.
Kudos for Dara who hosted my gardening class at her Wellington home last Saturday.She makes the GREEN DREAMS come TRUE .Simply by doing it and making it HAPPEN!
Here is her testimoney about the class: I qoute:"What a wonderful experience we had meeting and learning from Tony. I decided to have a class at my home since I had many friends and family intrested in learning how to organic garden. Tony was friendly, full of knowledge and made a spiritual connection that was interesting and beautiful. My backyard is already humming with the positive energy of all these new little plant friends. Tony encouraged the children to be present, which I appreciated. The children showed so much joy and enthusiasm. It was fabulous and what a gift to give our children this knowledge. I will try to post photos. We are looking forward to our next class with Tony. " Unqoute.
