I am trying to get information on the MSGN, and I couldn't find anything current by googling it or on MOFGA's page, so I thought I'd contact you directly! I am creating a non-profit organization to assist Maine schools with starting integrated garden projects, by providing teacher training, curriculum, funding and garden planning. I have just gotten started on this, and have been networking with people at the Common Ground Fair and the Governor's conference on Youth and the Outdoors today in Augusta. I have been up to visit Troy Howard MS, and talked to Neil Lash from Medomak Valley HS. Can you tell me something about your Network? Do you have a web page? Are you the place where I can get a feel for the scope of school gardens which already exist? Can I call you? Thanks, Kat
