so many good ideas...
speakers included: evergreen (canada); movium (sweden); Grun macht Schule (germany); learning through landscapes (uk); edi (japan) & playlink (uk)
visits to:
sherman elementary school
tulee elk child development center
commodore sloat elementary school
and of course, Alice Water's edible schoolyard at mlk middle school
(one speaker actually said that every schoolyard needs fire! our kids need to learn risk assessment... yes!)
(kitchen classroom)
too funny - the program director for evergreen ends up being someone i knew from high school. small small world.
my new mantra: "trees, rocks and mulch"... and a dream to tear up as much asphalt as possible.
btw, my friend sarah, who i stayed with, has launched a great service. appSmitten. sign up for daily app suggestions for your iphone / ipad / android. i've already found two new ones i love: cozi and seafood watch (which i have carried around in my wallet as a tattered piece of paper for years!)

Love the rain barrels and the garden-glove thingy. I work in a low income community for a non-profit and my initiative is community garden/urbaning farming, joint-use agreements, etc. Your blog continues to be a source of encouragement, ideas and help.
