Thanks for contacting us. Here is the current invitation [V113]
to our Organic Gardening Volunteer Gathering. Directions are at
the bottom.
We hope you can make it this Sunday March 08, 2009, and to our
overnext gathering on Sunday 03/15. Plus, if there is any time
during weekdays you might have a moment to pass by and get some
wholesome gardening exercise; please tell us, and I will see
what can be arranged.
Our next Organic Gardening Gathering this Sunday 01/08 is from
12:15 to 5:45. Sunday 03/15 will be held at the same time.
In fact this invitation is also valid for all the coming Sundays
in March, time will be the same. There is a lot more work to do!
So please come by and help! ;)
WHO WE ARE:
We are a "Victory Gardens 2.0" and "HEALTH THRU GARDENING" informal
group open to new participants, active in the Greater Los Angeles area
- several locations, from Orange County to Southern Ventura County.
But in fact, read on, and find out why we are a lot more than
that as well...
WHAT WE DO IN THIS PART OF THE PROJECT:
First, design, start, maintain and share local Organic Gardens.
So people can emulate what we do on their own. "Copy it", if you
wish, adapting it to their own needs, environment and conditions.
So as to, in turn, become models to others.
As a matter of principle, we never charge anything for what we
offer. The unfortunate side of this is that also, we cannot
compensate you for your input either, would you wish to help us.
We believe that during this "Second Coming of the Great Depression",
as the Crisis further unfolds, endeavors such as ours will become
increasingly in tune with the necessities of the time as well as
the needs of the people.
In fact, it is not impossible that in a future perhaps not too
far away, cities which will have adopted early timely programs,
such as those we advocate, might congratulate themselves for having
done so while they could. We certainly hope that the Greater Los
Angeles will show leadership in this area. However, as is often
the case with anything innovative and outside of the encaged
dwellings of habit, there has been some talk among politicians,
but little action. And, so far, certainly nothing that will make
any difference worth talking about.
With one exception we wish to fully acknowledge here: The strong
leadership expressed in and by the city of Santa Monica.
There, several innovative and impactful programs have been
developed and are currently successfully implemented. They all
express a clear will to cut through the red tape, as much as can
be done, and truly make a difference. We do not know who to
truly credit for these efforts, but we certainly wish to hail them.
But even more important than mere economic reasons, it is our
core belief that to be healthy, the very first thing we must do is
master systemic input. That is, breath clean air, drink pure water,
and eat fully functional food. In other words, EAT RIGHT.
For this, nothing can beat food grown truly organically (or shall
we say "ecologically") right where we live - that is, "zero food
miles" "truly organic" and sustainable food.
In fact, for the active environmentalist, instead of focusing
on nebulous and perhaps even misleading issues of little
immediate benefit to the many, nothing beats showing people and
factually proving that "eating Right" is a choice anyone can make,
anywhere and at any time. And that it is actually "a choice easy
to make".
Including (and preferably) by going straight to the ultimate
and optimal choice, access to your own "truly organically-grown"
"natural and functional" "sustainable" food.
One of our specialties is the concept of "Above Organic"
"Sustainable" "Optimal Edible EcoSystems" or "Edible Landscape".
Actually, saying that we "believe" that, to be healthy, one
"should" eat right is rather misleading.
This has little to do with "belief". It is definitely FACT. Fact
that has been proven over and over during the ages. Fact already
summarized almost twenty-five hundred years ago by no less than
the "Father of Medicine", Hippocrates, with the well-known aphorism
"Let Thy Food be Thy Medicine". Fact further explored nineteen
hundred years ago by his disciple Galen, whose core idea was that
"Nature" had designed living creatures to function perfectly.
That such was their own nature, if they were allowed to express it,
that is, assuming they lived with optimal input in pure air, water
and food. So, it's truly not that we are proposing anything new here.
Moreover, this fact was demonstrated again recently during the longest
(and still on-going) research project ever made on human nutrition,
known as the "China Project". Cornell and Oxford Universities,
working in team with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese
Ministry of Health, under the remarkable leadership of Pr Dr T.
Colin Campbell, have accumulated an enormous wealth of statistical
facts that stare us all right in the eyes. All we have to do is look
at them, and *think*. For a change!
Further, we feel that if one wants to do something for the
planet, one needs to start with oneself and one's own environment.
In other words, that "active environmentalism" is what counts.
Rather than "environmental activism", which is unfortunately
too often fluff and waste of time and resources in what are often
dead-end or misleading directions (think, for example, "ethanol"
or "peak oil").
And if the reward for doing right for you ends being vastly improved
health and well-being, are you really going to complain? We certainly won't!
So what we do is endeavor to educate people about issues pertaining
to the Environment, Ecology, Green Living and Green Buildings,
Organic and Sustainable Agriculture and Gardening, Alternative
Health, and New Energy. And how they all relate to our health and
well-being. For this, we are in the process of collecting data
and producing substantial educational and edutainment material.
You can see some of that material on websites such as:
http://victorygardens2.blogspot.com and its complement
http://vg2gardenerhandbook.blogspot.com , as well as other sites
such as lawncrusade.blogspot.com healththrugardening.blogspot.com
www.topangamodel.blogspot.com www.optimalbiomass.blogspot.com
www.pathtofreedom.com / www.pathtofreedom.org , and many more...
We'd suggest to explore the first two listed first, and to finish
with this one: http://savetheplanetandourselves.blogspot.com/ .
We apologize for the fact that this placeholder and PR ranking
accumulating material has yet to be properly edited. (Worse,
some hasn't even been properly spellchecked!) We are working on
these issues.
Some of the things we are best at are soil design and using the
systemic relationship between soil, natural energy, plants and
humankind for both our individual and collective benefits.
This is based on a long experience, grounded in and on the input,
over the years, of the most amazing mentors, and with historic
affiliations going back to the likes of Karl von Reichenbach,
Rudolf Steiner, Otto Warburg, Carl-Gustav Jung, Wilhelm Reich,
Viktor Schauberger, Viktor Frankl, Konrad Lorenz, Karl von Frisch,
Karl Bauer, Hans von Reichmann, Helan Jaworski, Alfred Korzybski,
Karl Ludwig von Bertalanffy, Maurice Maeterlinck, Louis Kervran,
Andre Birre, Andre Voisin and Jean Pain. To name just a few.
This lead us to develop concepts such as what one could call the
idea of "Optimal" "Above Organic" "Edible EcoSystems". Which, at
the practical level, leads to something like sort of " 'Square Foot
Gardening' and 'Companion Planting' 'on steroids' " as part of
"Edible and Sustainable EcoSystems".
Another of our areas of specialization is the relationship between
functional food and human well-being and health, in other words,
"Optimal Nutrition". This, in a sense, was the true specialty
of Pr Dr Otto Warburg, even if the fact is totally ignored nowadays,
an he reached wide recognition for his work in cell physiology.
It is the knowledge and experience so accumulated over the
years, that allows us to recognize and acknowledge the
contemporary input of Pr Dr T. Colin Campbell as absolutely
invaluable. We cannot think of anyone else who, today, would
more deserve a Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.
Theory is great, but practice, even better. So we tend to
think that teaching by showing people how to do and experience
the things that can change their lives by themselves is the most
important part of what we do.
This is why we were absolutely delighted to discover by chance,
a couple weeks ago, that our concerns and vision are widely shared
by one of the most outstanding architects and urban designers of
our age, Ian Ritchie, Royal Professor of Architecture at the Royal
Academy in London, who assured us of his full support.
This led us to hope that in consideration of such support, the
City of Los Angeles will end starting to show leadership in these
areas. Indeed, at a conference at the USC campus on January 21st,
2009, and in private conversations thereafter, Mr Ritchie outlined
ideas which, if they were to be adopted by City Hall, would
certainly prove quite instrumental in helping to alleviate
some of the unavoidable problems that will come with the further
unfolding of the economic aspects of the Great Crisis.
The good news is that to start living a better and healthier life,
we do not need any impetus or incentives coming from above.
In fact, "choosing a better and healthier life" is one of the
easiest thing for you to do. Simply because starting to "Eat Right",
doubtlessly one of the most impactful and transformational action
anyone can take, is something anyone can do. Truly, it is a
choice any of us can make, anywhere, and at any time of our choice.
The very first thing to do starts in and with your own backyard,
or the backyards of friends and/or family. Here in Southern
California, any backyard or rooftop can easily and very cost-
effectively (read -- on a total shoestring, if needs be)
be transformed into a little paradise. An oasis that can produce
2 to 3 pounds of food per square foot per year, and more.
Meaning, handled optimally, a 1,000 square feet backyard can
produce 1 to 1.5 and, in fact, 2+ tons of fresh, wholesome organic
food each year. Something which can easily be demonstrated.
Because this is not at all just theory. Anyone who so wishes can
visit a place, right now, right here, in Pasadena, where this
was achieved in 2008: 10,000 pounds of organic food produced
on just a 4,000 square feet backyard! You can see this fully
illustrated at www.pathtofreedom.org and www.pathtofreedom.com .
We simply teach people how to do the same. For this, we have
several on-going projects that will be completely documented
on video, from small clips to feature-length, professionally-
edited material, in which you can participate. And more are coming.
And we encourage our emulators to do as we attempt to do, try to
be "channels' in the sense expressed by Carl-Gustav Jung:
"The channel is not a person endowed with free will who seeks
his own ends, but one who allows 'creation' ('art') to realize
its purposes through him. As a human being, he [or she] may have
moods and a will and personal aims, but as a channel he [or she]
is 'human' in a higher sense - 'symbolically human'; a vehicle and
molder of the unconscious psychic life of humankind." - Carl
Gustav Jung, "'Psychology and Literature," 1930.
[The word translated here as "channel" is extremely difficult
to translate. It could be translated as "artist" or "poet", which
would be misleading, as it does not mean "poet" or "artist" in
the common sense, but rather "poieit" as in the Greek "poiein" -
- creator, inventor, maker of things or ideas. Or even more
truthfully, the expression of collective memes, the channel or
incarnation of archetypes.]
Moreover, we are currently looking for a land donation or long term
lease for a symbolic dollar allowing us to create as many as
possible model facilities. Currently, we have two small projects
in the process of being documented, one near Encino, the other in
East L.A., at the exact border of L.A. with Alhambra and South Pasadena.
WHAT WE NEED: Help in all forms, and first, volunteers to help do
as well as document the work in progress. Of course, tools, materials,
money, etc, are quite welcome too... As well as more places to
demonstrate what can be done -- such as perhaps your own backyard!
At any rate, TO DO WHAT WE DO, WE NEED YOUR HELP! So, if you are
interested in what we do and want to help, or want to learn how
to transform a lawn or an empty backyard into an organic food-
producing garden, or know people who might be interested, please
contact us and come participate in our on-going activities.
In any event, our next Organic Garden Gatherings and Volunteers
Day will be every Sunday from this coming Sunday to the end of
March 2009, from 12:15 to 5:45 PM, in L.A. near Alhambra off
Huntington Drive. We are also open to weekdays volunteering, if
there is some interest for it. Just tell us what would be most
convenient to you.
Also, please note that we are also actively looking for more
projects to take on, particularly from March 1st, 2009, on.
In general, we might also have something during certain weekdays
in the afternoon, if sufficient interest is expressed.
At any rate, if we don't have it already, please provides us with
your location and a number to contact you, just in case there are
changes in location or timing, or new Projects closer to you. And
please feel free to bring along anyone in your friends or family
who might be interested, including children, as long as they come
with at least one parent.
Please note that we also need help with Project Coordination,
Talent Management (for example for the videos) and technical help
(for things such as websites set-up and maintenance, text editing,
and making and editing audios and videos or other multimedia
material, for example Camtasia (or similar)-based educational
material).

Victory Gardens Two - a concept for which the time has come.
Victory Gardens Two, better known as Victory Gardens 2.0 is a concept for which the time has come.
It is simply the idea that in uncertain times, on the quality of the food supply front as well as on the economic front in a more general way, it is everyone's best interest to plant and harvest their own organic food-producing gardens, at the personal level as well as at the community level.
The present blog is a placeholder for our regular blog which you can find here:
http://victorygardens2.blogspot.com/
This blog focuses on presenting the Victory Gardens 2.0 concept, and the different possible avenues to actualize it.
