Margaret, This is a great idea. We were not able to represent Orange Blossom Community Garden at the conference this year due to financial and time restrictions and would love for someone to share highlights so that we don't miss out entirely.
For those of you who use the listserv and have never attended a conference, I would encourage you to start planning now for next year.

Hi everyone! We were bummed to not be able to send a representative of Gardening Matters o the recent ACGA conference in NYC. I hope all that went had an awesome ime and are settling back in at home with their knew-found knowledge. I know TONS of information was gleaned, preserved, and grown..and I was oping that someone might be willing to share a short recap of their xperience at the conference for our monthly e-newsletter. This would have he multi-advantage of promoting the ACGA listserv and conference, and romoting dialogue and sharing between gardeners not just within MN (as our rganization aims to do), but across the country! A general reflection about hy you went, what you gained, what you learned, topics covered, what the enefit of such a gathering is, etc.. would all be appropriate topics. Please reply directly to me at marga...@gardeningmatters.org if you'd be illing to share your experiences with our readership! Pictures would be a elcome and added bonus! We would need the article by next Wednesday August 1st. Thanks in advance!
