Check out Spring Into Bed, an upcoming event to encourage people to grow more food! Here’s the website: www.springintobed.org.
COMMUNITY
Many people have realized that this is a celebration of what's already happening, and an opportunity to stimulate more. At least 4 different communities are taking actions spurred by this event, some committing to do their garden on May 8th on purpose and report what they're already doing, others finding motivation in Spring Into Bed's timeline to cultivate community spirit, interview neighbors for what they desire in a neighborhood, and cultivate an early manifestation of what is a long-term, growing sense of belonging, justice, and community.
FOOD JUSTICE
Besides gardens that would crop up everywhere anyways, many have sensed that the potential to build food justice into Seattle on May 8th is great. Spring Into Bed is fundraising to build 10 food justice gardens on the day of the event and beyond!
