As promised the thread on Bright Green economics continues here.
I’m inspired to be hearing the buzz around Liberty Gardens again. For those new to the term here is a little historical and emergent context check the blog link from the photo borrowed above, and more herehttp://www.libertygardens.com/.
There are many emergent expressions of this Bright Green, common sense approach. In our modern age something like Green City Growers model would serve a fair number more of our urban and suburban populations who might enjoy having another responsible steward care for their gardens. See what they’re up to in this Boston Globe article, Nourishing more than minds.
Another area for Liberty Gardens 2.0 which I need to do more research is the cultivation of indoor gardens for winter and cold climate regions. Other methods such as sprouting beans and seeds helps to keep the supply of fresh greens and enzymes on the table.
Whichever way we look at it, it seems like a bright idea to build more food security in our homes and communities, and to reward those with the initiative and the know how to make it happen by creating more jobs and programs to support them.
