Building on Larry's list of "needs/resources" in the yard sharing and food
areas are a few amazing Pacific NW (American/Canadian) resources:
Connecting those with land to those who want to grow food:
www.urbangardenshares.org (for Seattle; Whatcom County, WA; Bellingham, WA;
Louisville, KY; Altlanta, GA; Boise, ID)
Connecting food people: food-hub.org (greater NW--WA, OR & ID)
Canadian "craigslist for food": www.sharedharvest.ca
Seattle/Puget Sound area urban gardening news and resources:
www.urbanfarmhub.org
Peace,
Jocelyn
