Profile Information
- About Me:
- I'm the director of Rochester Roots which is committed to the creation of urban school and community garden-based educational programs for youth and adults. These programs focus on growing, preparing and enjoying high quality, safe, affordable healthy food. This organization is creating a locally sustainable food system to help low-income people in Rochester obtain nutritious, locally grown food. The School-Community Garden project transforms underutilized schoolyards into urban gardens, and the produce is harvested and distributed to students and community members who worked to grow that food.
- My sustainable city would have:
- Urban organic sustainable gardens

Thanks for the reminder. Can the strawberries be transplanted in the spring? If so, what month is best? Jan
Congratulations on the Harry Chapin Award. I just noticed your posting about it now.
Don't forget I have too many strawberry plants.
Hope to meet you soon.

You could still do it now. Its a bit late but not impossible. You can call me at 585-662-7706 or email direct to Ronjf1@gmail.com
Take care.
I ran a community gardens program in Trenton, NJ with Isles for almost 9 years. We were presented with the Harry Chapin Award along the way. If you need any assistance, let me know.
