TED Talk Thursday – Roger Doiron: My subversive (garden) plot

For those of you not familiar with TED Talks here is a brief summery of them from www.ted.com:

“TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize”

According to www.ted.com:

“A vegetable garden can do more than save you money — it can save the world. At TEDxDirigo Roger Doiron shows how gardens can re-localize our food and feed our growing population.”

“Roger Doiron is dedicated to helping individuals grow their own food. He is the founder of Kitchen Gardeners International — a network of 20,000 individuals in 100 countries. In 2008, he started the “Eat the View” campaign, a successful bid to get the White House to plant a kitchen garden–which was planted (by none other the First Lady) in March, 2009.”

I hope you enjoy this VERY entertaining and important video:
