SEEDS Community Garden These days I'm painting in one of the loveliest garden spots in the Triangle. Amid fruit trees, fragrant herbs, and song birds, the folks at the SEEDS Community Garden are busy nursing seedlings and building community. The garden is also the home of DIG, a youth driven farmer's market business. You can purchase the harvest of these energetic young folks every Saturday at the Durham Farmer's Market. www.seedsnc.org SPARK CON ... igniting creativity in the Triangle September 20 - 23, 2007 What is Spark Con?
