Community gardening

Eating a healthy and delicious veg*n diet requires fresh veggies, herbs and fruits.

Maybe you don’t have any yard space, or don’t have a clue about gardening?

Maybe you have a huge garden and could use some help?

Join us for our final Peace Forum of the semester! We will share community gardening ideas and dreams, and discuss possible partnerships for this summer, and beyond.

Come with your own ideas and questions, and enjoy a free, delicious, vegetarian lunch. Also bring suggestions for next year’s Peace Forum topics. Contact Anna Lisa at grossan@earlham.edu with ideas if you can’t make it. Thursday, noon in the Earlham School of Religion (228 College Ave) dining room.

Earth Day!

Sorry for the month of absence. Melissa and I are both completely swamped with finishing out our Spring semester!

But we’re still here!

And we will be at the Family Earth Day Celebration up at Indiana University East. Here are the details:

Saturday, April 25th, 2009
10 AM – 2 PM
Indiana University East
FREE ADMISSION

There’s a whole slew of events and featured presentations for all ages. (The Silly Safari thing is fun, they had that last year.) Just so there’s no confusion, this event is the same Earth Day celebration that was held down in the gorge the past two years — it’s been re-located this year!

We will be there to answer questions, provide reading material, and give away free recipes! (We were going to serve food, but are unable to because of legal reasons) The event is going to be really exciting, and there will be lots to see. Make it a point to come up and check it out!

April 100 mile radius potluck

annalisa — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:05:31 +0000

Spring is here! Just think how easy the 100 mile radius potlucks are going to be soon!

In the meantime, for the hardcore, curious and determined among you, our April potluck will be on Sunday, April 26 at 6pm.

We’ll meet at the Cycling & Fitness Warehouse. CFW sits near the Cardinal Greenway, so it’s easy to find by bike or on foot. It’s a bit harder to find by car, but there are directions on their site, and here is another map. It’s near Richmond’s main post office, and we’ll put up signs next Sunday. Thanks to CFW for hosting.

As always, 100 mile radius potlucks are a chance for us to learn more about the bioregion we live in, and try out a new style of cooking. Most of all, potlucks are a time to be with new and old friends, and share ideas and enthusiasm about sustainable living. 100 mile radius potlucks are mostly vegetarian, but usually have at least some local animal products.

Event: 100 Mile Radius Potluck

annalisa — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 15:59:38 +0000

March has arrived! If your pantry or freezer are running low from last year’s harvest, spring (and soon, veggies) is in sight!

Loyal potluck attenders Jan and Dan Sims will be hosting the March 100 mile radius potluck at Arden Hearth. Thanks for this hospitality!

We will gather on Sunday, March 22* at 6pm, at 202 N. 15th Street.

Bring a dish celebrating local food – whether every single ingredient was grown within 100 miles of Richmond, or just the most important ones, give local cooking your best shot.

Bring your own dishes, as well, to keep things simple for our hosts.

And as always, if you can’t pull a dish together, you can come without food!

100 mile radius potlucks are mostly vegetarian, and often vegan, though at least one meat dish always shows up.

*This is the last day of spring break for several area schools. If you’ll be traveling over break, bring back something local to your spring break spot to share!

Ed. note: These events are awesome. If you haven’t yet attended one, I highly recommend it!
