Hi All!
Ann ran across this interesting website that is connecting people who have gardening space to people who want to garden, but don't have any space. It looks like there are a few in the Boise area with some space, so if you or someone you know is interested, check it out.
One of the biggest barriers to growing food in the city is access to land - despite the fact that many yards, lawns, and backyards have plenty of room to spare. Sharing Backyards links people with unused yard space with those looking for a place to grow food.

In other news, it looks like we may be trading a work party this month (oh, I know you're disappointed!) with a caravan out to Fruitland Nursery for fruit and nut trees, or whatever other trees or shrubs you may need. Trailers will be available for hauling trees back and we can coordinate carpools for people wanting to go along. We'll post more information as the plans are solidified, but set aside the 20th and a possible date. If you want to go and need a ride, post a thread in the Local Events section of the BSLC Forums and we'll work something out.
And finally, a big Thank You goes out to Casey O'Leary and those of you who attended the last meeting. It was great to get together again and Casey had some great advice to share...not to mention her calendars are awesome!
