This program is NOT local, but it is a wonderful idea starter for community gardening in Columbus!
This organization registers fruit trees around Vancouver, provides teen employment, supports local businesses with fruit processing/juicing, coordinates available backyards for gardens with gardeners, and organizes a good, local, organic food directory.
SO COOL!
