action alert: support a kind teacher

A Memphis teacher named Adam Guerrero has planted a vegetable garden in his front yard to teach students about gardening. A local judge recently declared the garden a "nuisance" and Adam has a court date tomorrow.

Roger Doiron of Kitchen Gardeners International made me aware of this issue and I wanted to share so we can all help. Let's support Adam and let Judge Larry Potter know that banning Adam's garden would hurt the community.

Here's how you can help:

Write to Judge Larry Potter at larry.pottershelbycountytn.gov in support of Adam Guerrero's garden. Please be respectful. You are an ambassador for the kitchen garden cause.
Join the Facebook page called "Save Adam Guerrero's Garden" where you can show your support and receive updates about his case.
Show your outrage on Twitter using the WarOnGardens hashtag.
Sign an online petition at change.org in support of the garden which will be sent to the judge hearing Guerrero's case.
Watch and share the video on YouTube and embedded above.

Why do you think communities resist good works like this and how can we teach more kids about gardening?
