Hi All,
Tomorrow will be the first day with our summer interns and we are excited. We will have updates soon regarding the progress of the garden and our interns’ work. At this point we have new beds, plenty of plants in the ground and a lot of projects to keep us busy all summer.
I wanted to share links to a few great projects that are occurring in Milwaukee, engaging youth and the community in urban agriculture. Kilbourn Park Gardens are a great community garden engaging with youth interns, as well. Check them out here. The internship program at the gardens can be followed here. Also very exciting is the program into which former Kilbourn Park Interns can continue, called the “Young Farmers Program”. After a year with the Kilbourn Park Interns, youth can progress to Young Farmers, being hired out by the community to assist in growing food. Centralizing economies, food sovereignty and the economic and labor power of youth. Such a great idea! Check it out here.
We will be updating soon. Keep checking back.
