Community Garden Quotes

• We can begin by doing small things at the local level, like planting community gardens or looking out for our neighbors. That is how change takes place in living systems, not from above but from within, from many local actions occurring simultaneously.

• I envision a day when every city and town has front and back yards, community gardens and growing spaces, nurtured into life by neighbors who are no longer strangers, but friends who delight in the edible rewards offered from a garden they discovered together. Imagine small strips of land between apartment buildings that have been turned into vegetable gardens, and urban orchards planted at schools and churches to grow food for our communities. The seeds of the urban farming movement already are growing within our reality.

• We all grew up in communities with grandmothers who cooked two, three vegetables that you had to eat. There was no ifs, ands or buts about it. But that's because many of our grandparents, they had community gardens; there was the vegetable man that came around. There were many other resources that allowed them to have access. So it's not that people don't know or don't want to do the right thing; they just have to have access to the foods that they know will make their families healthier.

• Parece que olvidamos que todo lo que es bueno para el medio ambiente es un trabajo. Los paneles solares no se instalan solos. Los aerogeneradores no se fabrican solos. Las casas no se reacondicionan por sí solas y ponen sus propias calderas y hornos nuevos y ventanas y puertas mejor ajustadas. Los cultivos avanzados para biocombustibles no se plantan solos. Los huertos comunitarios no se cultivan solos. Los mercados agrícolas no funcionan solos. Todo lo que es bueno para el medio ambiente es en realidad un trabajo, un contrato o una oportunidad empresarial.

• The first western gardens were those in the Mediterranean basin. There in the desert areas stretching from North Africa to the valleys of the Euphrates, the so-called cradle of civilization, where plants were first grown for crops by settled communities, garden enclosures were also constructed. Gardens emphasized the contrast between two separate worlds: the outer one where nature remained awe-inspiringly in control and an inner artificially created sanctuary, a refuge for man and plants from the burning desert, where shade trees and cool canals refreshed the spirit and ensured growth.

• Creo que la mayoría de la gente no se imagina cómo pueden cambiar las cosas. En Detroit hay huertos comunitarios que no son más que un indicio de que el campo está volviendo a la ciudad. Y eso es algo que realmente es necesario para detener el peligro inminente real de exterminio de nuestro planeta.
