[GREN-Exec] next GREN meeting

[Kevin Thomason]

Hi Susan,

Excellent ideas!  I really like both.  The editor might work best now with the food forest later in the season though either one or both could work well.  Keep moving forward from my perspective.

Cheers,
Kevin.

Then I thought that would be better for an early June meeting when we could actually see it in bloom. Then I thought maybe it's good to do it now in case anyone wants to do a food forest somewhere else, they'd have time to get some funding and make arrangements to plant in the spring. Nicola is available this time or in June. She just did a workshop at the Canadian Organic Growers Conference in Guelph this weekend.

I haven't asked him yet, but would ask him if he could spend about an hour with us. Let me know ASAP if this is the option you'd like so I can ask him.
