The Camden Children’s Garden and Camden City Garden Club
Present the 2010 Flower Show Exhibit
CAMDEN, N. J. (January 1, 2010) At the Philadelphia Flower Show (February 28 – March 7, 2010), the Camden City Garden Club, operator of the Camden Children’s Garden, will present \”Soup & Salad: From Camden to the World\”. This exhibit will address food security and sustainability. The display will educate Flower Show visitors about how easy it can be to grow their own produce, and motivate families to prepare fresh, locally grown fruits and vegetables and enjoy these meals together.
The reference to \”Soup and Salad\” pays homage to two healthy meals that are enjoyed by most cultures in various ways throughout the world. Also, \”Salad\” specifically symbolizes the mission of the Camden City Garden Club and its ever-expanding Community Gardening Program. With 26 years of experience helping to grow and feed the City of Camden, the Garden Club’s Community Gardening Program strives to provide sustainable urban agriculture, food access and nutritional education to the people of Camden. This exhibit celebrates the Club’s creation of 31 new community gardens in the year 2009 alone.
