My goal is to try and convince people, who are afraid to take that leap, that they can do it. With a strong desire, a little business training, and lots of help from their friends and colleagues, they can become any kind of business person they want. That's my belief anyway. Community gardens are very big in many parts of the country--it just takes a lot of organization. It seems like grants for this kind of thing should be readily obtainable. I want to look into grants some, in the near future, and I will keep my eyes and ears open regarding the availability of grants for community gardens and green entrepreneurship---especially inner-city green entrepreneurship. Thanks again Judith. .-= Bob Foster´s last blog ..<a href="http://bizmaverickblog.com/microfinance/" rel="nofollow">Microfinance</a> =-.

Thank you. I like the connection here to the average entrepreneur here and not merely in developing countries. But speaking of developing, it is so needed in inner cities throughout our country, where there is already a natural greening, where row after row of houses once stood. Perhaps with such loans gardening can occur and those who are unable to get to Walmart to shop can do so instead of shopping at the local liquor store that only carry vegetables cans of salty water and bologna and super size boxes of candy and chips. We then wonder why we have obesity related health problems, including diabetes and hypertension. Maybe microfinancing can help entrepreneurs who want to grow healthy foods and not depend on Walmart and, of course, Whole Foods is out of the question. Thanks for the post, Bob. .-= Judith Ellis´s last blog ..<a href="http://thebeingbrand.blogspot.com/2009/08/being-marvin-gaye.html" rel="nofollow">Being Marvin Gaye</a> =-.
