In a single day, October 10, 2010, 350 San Francisco landscapes,
balconies and community spaces will be transformed into bountiful food
gardens, bringing local food production into our 7 square miles.
Kitchen Garden SF is teaming with the San Francisco Permaculture
Guild, Hayes Valley Farm, 350.org, SFUAA and other local organizations
and businesses to host gardeners, urban farmers and local food
activists in a global environmental work party. The 350 Kitchen Garden
Challenge in San Francisco will include citywide garden work parties,
kitchen gardening workshops, a harvest party at Hayes Valley Farm and
a bike tour of urban farms built on formerly vacant lots and garden
action locations.

The 350 Kitchen Garden Challenge will bring San Francisco to the
forefront of climate change solutions by creating a healthy homegrown
food supply, building soil, saving water and cutting greenhouse gas
emissions; it encourages reconnecting to earth's natural cycles; the
350 Kitchen Garden Challenge supports local businesses, create local
currencies and builds resource sharing networks; it beautifies our
neighborhoods, builds community, creates local garden networks and
empower ourselves to care for the earth, our selves and each other and
it provide San Francisco residents the opportunity to participate in
something greater than ourselves in solidarity with other 10/10/10
350.org global actions.

Planning is underway and Kitchen Garden SF is looking for partners,
sponsors and organizers to participate in the 350 Kitchen Garden
Challenge and bring San Francisco to the forefront of climate change
solutions. We will have our first public organizing meeting on
Thursday, August 26th, 6:00 - 8:00pm at Hayes Valley Farm, 450 Laguna
Street. Please RSVP to karlanjohn...@gmail.com if you can come to the
meeting or would like to be a partner or sponsor. To register a garden
action or sign up to volunteer on 10/10/10 go to Kitchen Garden SF.
Feel free to forward this announcement to anyone who might be
interested, we want to see the entire city planting kitchen gardens on
10/10/10!
