[Lapg] Fw: Job Op: Part time gardening opportunity in Santa Monica Schools

[Joan Stevens]

 "...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even 
if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is 
enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the 
very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and 
shelter."


- Bill Mollison

Since 1978, the  Common  Ground  Garden program has helped  Los Angeles   County  
residents to garden, grow their own food, and healthfully prepare it.  Our 
targeted audience and priority are to serve limited-resource residents and those 
traditionally underrepresented.  By training community volunteers, we empower 
neighborhoods to create their own solutions.  Our Master Gardener volunteers 
work primarily with community gardens, school gardens, seniors, and homeless and 
battered women's shelters.
 
In 2009, 192 Master Gardeners volunteered 9,955 hours serving 63,624 low-income 
gardeners in Los Angeles County at 41 community gardens, 71 school gardens, 14 
homeless and battered-women’s shelter gardens, 6 senior gardens, and 14 fairs 
and farmers markets.
