[Lapg] bountiful gardens tip/ nursery tour?/ nursery list

[Joan Stevens]

Bountiful Gardens is up the 5.  It's really worth the trip and the prices can't 
be beat - David Diaz (owner) is a real plantsman at heart.  Camille Cimino 
turned me on to him - I've heard he'll even start specific varieties for you if 
you work something out with him.  

If you go, tell him I sent you!

P.S. it would be fun to do a nursery tour day some weekend.  I'd be happy to 
help organize.  We could visit a couple nurseries and then have a late lunch 
somewhere.  I'm partial to the East side though. 

if we could even start a list of recommended nurseries that would be super 
helpful.
In fact here's a google doc we can add info to:

 "There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We 
must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world,and train all our 
young people to help. They want to.
We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, 
clean energies, secure communities,stable regions, and to know how to do it from 
hands-on experience"
"...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
