“Dancing Plants in Pants” test garden at All Power Labs, made in 2019 over a couple of workshops- first was led by Michael Collins, with Olivia and me/Leela in attendance. Second was led by me, with some friends from All Power Labs.

The dry, sun-beaten location and difficulty to irrigate the irregular structures devastated this garden. Great experiment, though!

To achieve sustainability, must inhabit land that grows our natural nourishment. Occupy this land, enjoy durian and grow it everywhere among plants that support its dominion.

There’s also a table out in the middle of the water, easy wading out

Rural Mobile Food Outreach Program serves the five rural counties surrounding the Gainesville area. Our program coordinator and volunteers bring food; personal care products, pet foods and other necessities to people in these areas who cannot make the journey into town. The people most impacted by poverty in the rural communities are the elderly and children. Our support helps them meet their basic needs. Special bags are distributed during the year for back to school and the holidays. The back to school packs are filled the necessary school supplies needed for a successful learning experience and to help children start the year off right.

The library in Newberry has a modest seed library with small seed packs of diverse edible, ornamental & wild plants.

The range of seeds has expanded well past what is pictured.

There tends to be an influx of seeds at the start of peak growing seasons. The sources range from conventional farmed to local heirloom.

Visitors are welcome to take 10 packs of seeds per day, as long as you tell library staff at the desk (they don’t check library cards).

While many residents stand to lose food stamps, it behooves us to start using public land to teach different effective gardening styles while also producing food for local residents.

The Trenton Library has a lot of vacant land that should be growing food, and teaching people how to do so at home.

Within the Trenton Library, Gilchrist County residents can get seed packs once per season.

Craig Hepworth: "The ‘Turkey Lake’ tree in Gainesville was planted in 2002, and it has grown to a large size. Every autumn it produces abundant crops of fruit over a long period – most years you should find some ripe fruits if you visit any time from late August through the middle of December. (The very earliest fruits to drop sometimes don’t taste quite as rich as the ones which ripen from October onward). If you’re in the North Florida area, this is a good opportunity to experience what a really good form of American persimmon tastes like. I consider fruits of this species to be one of autumn’s finest treats."

Craig selected this variety of wild American persimmon, due to its size & flavor, and propagated it here.

Visiting the ‘Turkey Lake’ tree in Gainesville:

The tree is located in Dreamer’s Garden, a city of Gainesville community garden located at the intersection of NW 10th Ave and NW 4th St. There’s easy parking across the street in the Earth Pets plaza (you can stop in at the store to pick up some eco-friendly treats for your furry companions while visiting the persimmon tree.)

I’ve heard from an eyewitness that there is a bomb testing facility somewhere within the Ocala National Forest.
