Food Access Through Urban Gardens Discussion on July 31 in Berkeley

[Guest guest]

Growing Food, Growing Community - Food Access Through Urban Gardens

Panel discussion of the ideas and projects of the late Karl Linn and

his recently released book, Building Commons and Community. A

grassroots neighborhood organizer, Linn transformed vacant lots into

shared community spaces, creating gardens and playgrounds on derelict

property and revitalizing local neighborhoods. Panelists Diana Young,

Beebo Thurman, Joy Moore, and Carl Anthony will share their vision and

practical wisdom on the roll of urban gardens both as shared spaces

for community and as focal points for food justice. Locally grown

refreshments will be provided. Wheelchair accessible.
