Blogging is supposed to be about being in the loop, not out of it. In my typical lazy/incompetent style, though, I only today stumbled across news of the Rooting DC event of a few weeks ago. Of course, I'm not the worst culprit here -- I learned about it from a dcist link to the 2010 event, posted yesterday.
Anyway, Rooting DC kept some videos of the event up if you want to see some of what was offered. The event was organized by the DC Field to Fork Network, which, according to their website, represents "urban gardeners, farmers’ markets, distribution co-operatives, food banks, local government agencies, academic institutions, nutrition educators, community organizers, and cooks." The group also puts out a monthly e-newsletter via subscription and links to a google calendar that lists community activities.
From the perspective of someone very new to the gardening hobby and this kind of civic activity, there are a lot more urban gardening/food production efforts going on in the District than it would seem. I'll try to do my part to give these efforts some pub.
