It's Friday, and things are in bloom! In the last week, we've been the happy beneficiaries of tomatoes from our neighbor's yard and green beans from a co-worker's. It's a good time of year for gardening (and a good time of year to know gardeners)!
Appropriately, this week's round-up is brought to you by the National Gardening Association. The NGA, a non-profit founded in 1973, promotes home, school, and community gardening as a means to renew and sustain the essential connections between people, plants, and the environment. Their web site offers information and tips that will aid beginners and expert gardeners, as well as regionally specific gardening reports and blogs. Want to know what's in season in your neck of the woods? This is the place to look.
And now, without further adieu, here's the cream of this week's reader contribution crop:
Keeping us up-to-date on green building news is Jetson Green. Check out his Noteworthy News and Information post for a number of current, newsy green items.
Speaking of timely updates, listedgreen reminds us that the West Coast Green Expo and Conference will be in San Francisco, the weekend of September 20-22nd.
Elsewhere, materialicious checks in with a great post (with fantastic pictures) on a six container home in Mexico. Anyone who is at all intrigued by shipping container home design and construction should definitely check this out.
And last, but certainly not least, new user yjenkins raves about a blue jean donation program at Barney's in NYC.
Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!
