Thank you. For more information, please contact local gardeners and farmers who specialize in Organic gardening, Permaculture gardening, Biodynamic gardening, Japanese Kyusei Nature gardening, Biointensive gardening, Heirloom gardening, Agroforestry gardening, Organic Hydroponics gardening and Gardening Therapy. Gardening is micro-climate specific. These means that local gardeners might know of gardening techniques and resources which are helpful for the location you live in. Keep researching, reading, refining your gardening methods and experimenting with different growing techniques. Eco Gardening technology is changing and improving all the time. Also, as the climate changes, you may need to learn other gardening techniques for various climates. http://www.localharvest.org PERMACULTURE http://www.seedinternational.com.au http://www.tagari.com http://www.attra.org/attra-pub/perma.html http://www.permaculture-magazine.co.uk http://www.berg-endal.co.za http://www.permacultureinternational.org http://www.permaculture-hawaii.com http://www.permacultura-es.org http://www.permacultureactivist.net http://www.permaculture.org.au http://www.permacult.com.au http://www.permacultura.org http://permakultur.dk http://www.permaculture-steve.net http://www.permacult.com.au/noosa http://www.permaculturemelbourne.org.au http://www.permaculture.biz http://www.tortuga.com/permacultura http://www.3.telus.net/permaculture http://permaculturevisions.com http://www.permaculture.net http://www.openpermaculture.com http://www.permaculture.org.nz http://www.permacultura-bahia.org.br http://www.permacultura-montsant.org http://www.permacultura.org.br http://www.tierramor.org http://www.ecohabitar.org http://www.ecocentro.org http://www.pacificos.org http://permacultura.freeservers.com http://www.permacultura.cl http://permacultura.no.sapo.pt http://www.utopie.it/ecovillaggi/permacultura.htm http://www.gaia.org.ar/cursoperma.htm http://www.vidasana.org http://www.ufpa.br/permacultura http://www.mutantia21.com.ar/permacultura.html http://www.permaculture.org.uk http://colombiaenhechos.org/permacultura.htm http://www.permacultura.it http://www.ipemabrasil.org.br http://www.brightonpermaculture.co.uk http://www.torri-superiore.org http://www.agrorede.org.br/curso-permacultura http://www.ybytucatu.com.br/permacultura.htm http://www.amazonia.org http://www.permacultura-rs.org.br http://www.mmrfbz.org http://www.permaculture.org http://www.moa-inter.or.jp/english/naturefarm/nf-contents.html http://www.booksite.com/texis/scripts/oop/click_ord/showlist.html?sid =5845&list=Gardening Eco-Buddhahist Project: http://www.buddhafield.com journal: Permaculture Activist http://www.permacultureactivist.net journal: Permaculture Magazine http://www.permaculturemagazine.co.uk journal: Permaculture Drylands Journal http://www.permaculture.net PIL's Planet Newsletter http://www.permacultureinternational.org/newsletter/newsletter.htm EAT LOCAL ORGANIC FOOD Please support your Local Organic Family Farmers http://www.localharvest.org/csa http://www.localharvest.org/csa.jsp http://www.eatlocal.org/Ideas.html http://colombia.indymedia.org/news/2005/11/34640.php http://arizona.indymedia.org/news/2005/11/33261.php ELIMINATE HUNGER Luke 10:29 http://www.carbon.org http://www.treesforlife.org http://neemfoundation.org http://www.neemresource.com http://www.moringatrees.org http://bristol.indymedia.org/newswire.php?story_id=25076 http://southafrica.indymedia.org/news/2006/06/10603.php utilizing ORGANIC COMMUNITY GARDENS to feed the poor, EDUCATE CHILDREN, and ceate Local FARMER MARKETS http://www.communitygarden.org.au http://www.communitygarden.org/publications.php http://www.growingpower.org http://www.greenguerillas.org http://www.greenthumbnyc.org http://www.communitygarden.org.au/reading.html http://www.communitygarden.org.au/experience/people/eilean.html http://www.victorygardens.net/VGM.html http://www.oasisnyc.net/resources/comm_gardens/default.asp http://www.earthandtable.com/commgarden/cgresources.html http://www.paulkingsnorth.net/allotments.html http://www.tbdhu.com/food/security/Gardening.htm http://www.yesmagazine.com/article.asp?ID=576 http://www.cityfarmer.org/booksales.html http://www.foodsecurity.org/links.html http://www.growingcenter.org/community_gardens.html http://www.communitygarden.org.au/news/cgjun05_email.pdf http://www.longbeachorganic.org/Site/englishstartupguide.PDF http://celosangeles.ucdavis.edu/garden/articles/startup_guide.html http://www.ruaf.org/ruafpublications_fr.html http://www.foodsecurity.org/UAHealthArticle.pdf http://www.ascribe.org/cgibin/spew4th.pl?ascribeid=20030513.123819&time=13+19+PDT&year =2003&public=1 http://news.ucanr.org/newsstorymain.cfm?story=476 http://www.vegparadise.com/24carrot4.html http://www.organicfood.co.uk/stories/historicfarm.html http://departments.oxy.edu/uepi http://www.lta.org/resources/index.html http://www.lta.org/publicpolicy/advocates.htm http://www.cityfarmer.org/caracas.html Free book: http://www.wasatchgardens.org/Library/CommunityGardenStartupHandbook.PDF book: Growing Communities: How to Build Community Through Community Gardening; author: Jeanette Abi-Nader http://www.communitygarden.org/publications.php book: Cultivating Community: Principles and Practices for Community Gardening as a Community-Building Tool; author: Karen Payne http://www.communitygarden.org/publications.php book: Community Planning Handbook; author: N.
