Community garden workshop Sunday in Hyde Park

I am late taking notice of this, and due to previous commitments I won't be able to go myself. But what sounds like a very interesting free workshop on community food production -- as in vegetable gardening -- will be held Sunday KAM Isaiah Israel, a historic synagogue at 1100 E. Hyde Park Blvd. You can find all the details here.

Of special interest on Sunday: A workshop from 2 to 4 p.m. with an overview of how to start a food-producing community garden.

It's all part of a "social justice weekend" marking the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It kicks off this evening with a talk by the always inspiring Milwaukee urban farming and community organizing evangelist Wil Allen of Growing Power will be speaking at KAM. And I can't think of a better way to do it than giving people the knowledge and tools to grow their own food.
