Tweet for School Gardens

How often can you create big local change with just a few key strokes (140 to be exact)? That’s what the Shorty Awards on Twitter are all about.

Today winds up the Twitter Shorty Awards campaign and our favorite master gardener, Mud Baron, reached the 500 nominations mark, thus, Los Angeles County school gardens win big time. Mud works to build sucessful school gardens for kids in L.A. and has been working tirelessly to get all kinds of supplies and pledges throughout his Twitter campaign on the condition that he receives at least 500 nominations. He reached and surpassed his goal.

Check out Mud’s nominations. You can also still add your own even though the initial goal was met. Follow Mud on Twitter at @Cocoxochitl and let him know you support what he does.

Urban green space instead of concrete isn’t just better for the students, it’s also better for the Bay!
