Free Garden-Share Nonprofit Service Launching August 31st – Yards to Gardens

[Zach Bogoshian, Yards to Gardens]

Hello All!

I have seen how this list-serve works as a way to discuss and share
resources and knowledge, as well as a means to connect with your
neighbors. Allow me to introduce Yards to Gardens!

Yards to Gardens is a non-profit organization focused on creating
community connections around gardening. In the urban setting,
gardening space is at a premium, however it does exist: in the yards
of your loving, caring neighbors! We want to empower neighborhoods to
become more healthy, connected and beautiful by creating new localized
food systems out of their yards. Y2G.org is a free website to find or
post yard space, willing gardeners, extra tools, or organic matter.

Yards to Gardens has been a great success in Minneapolis, MN, and now
we are bringing it to the San Francisco Bay Area with an official
launch on August 31st!

So, If you or someone you know needs a space to garden, has extra yard
to share, or some tools sitting around collecting dust, then Y2G is
for you. Our goal is to have 300 new listings up in the San Francisco
Bay Area by the end of August - so tell your friends, and put up a
listing today! It takes 5 minutes tops!

Chime In:
Figuring out this land and garden-share concept is an ever-evolving
process. There’s a growing movement of innovation and sharing in the
gardening community, and we want to be a part of it. So, even if you
don’t use our website, we still want your feedback so we can provide
the community with the best possible public garden-sharing service. So
please, check out the site, use it, post on it, share it, write about
it or shoot us some tips on how to make it better (or even some
compliments...) using either the feedback tab or email za...@y2g.org.
