This program is a class&lt;br \/&gt;\ndesigned to help every-day and beginner gardeners design, plant, and maintain their own organic&lt;br \/&gt;\nbackyard gardens while also giving back to their community.&lt;br \/&gt;\nThe hands-on class held August 13th from 8:30am \u2013 5:30pm at the Fortress Youth Development&lt;br \/&gt;\nCenter in Fort Worth (712 Stella Street) will be the beginning of a community garden for inner-city&lt;br \/&gt;\nchildren and their families. Class participants will learn how to create their own productive organic&lt;br \/&gt;\nvegetable garden in the right place, with the right soil, at the right time, and with the right plants. The&lt;br \/&gt;\nclass will be led by the knowledgeable and experienced Austin permaculture instructor Dick Pierce&lt;br \/&gt;\nwith assistance from local backyard gardeners. Once the class is completed, a donation of 10&lt;br \/&gt;\nadditional hours with the Citizen Gardener program certifies participants as Citizen Gardeners. This&lt;br \/&gt;\nenriching experience can help fuel future individuals and organic community gardens in&lt;br \/&gt;\nneighborhoods throughout the Metroplex.&lt;br \/&gt;\nThe Fortress Youth Development Center, a non-profit organization created in 2005 provides social&lt;br \/&gt;\nand academic resources to inner-city youth that help them overcome the trap of generational poverty&lt;br \/&gt;\nso that they may prosper into productive adults. Gardening is a unique opportunity to teach children&lt;br \/&gt;\nabout responsibility, patience, appreciation, and consistency. While we all know that growing our own&lt;br \/&gt;\norganic food is more nutritious, cheaper, better for the environment, and provides healthy exercise,&lt;br \/&gt;\nthe investment we make to our own community and our children is invaluable.&lt;br \/&gt;\nThe deadline to sign up for this class is Tuesday, August 9, 2011. The cost is $30\/person and is&lt;br \/&gt;\nlimited to 30 participants.
