OK here are the guidelines for a meetup: http://freedomgardens.org/pages/getting-started/freedom-gardens-get-together-guidelines/

Sooo now all we have to do is plan one! Anybody want to volunteer their space? I'm thinking Phoenix or Tucson area to begin because they are most central to the state. I know there are some folks over in Prescott area, you guys might want to plan a meet up of your own, as I know Phoenix is a ways for you to drive.....

I'd offer up my place, but it's not very conducive to conversation.

Alternately, there are some events put on by the Phoenix Permaculture Guild, that maybe we could attend together. There are classes, walks, and open houses.

The calendar is here:

I thought the mesquite bean harvest

And the Introduction to Permaculture
http://www.phoenixpermaculture.org/events/intro-to-permaculture-with

both sounded cool.

If we wanted to wait until August or September, there are some really neat tours coming up then:

Personally, I'd love to see the Urban Farm!

Maybe if we did something like that, we could meet before or after for breakfast or lunch somewhere in town.

Just my $.02
