This Meetup group is for at-home dads in San Francisco! We're all about our kids and doing fun stuff with them during the "work week" (M-F): walks and hikes and playgrounds and sports and art and beer and books... anything really. All of us play a sizable caregiving role with our little ones, but some of us balance that role with part-time work, working evenings or weekends, consulting, project-based work, looking for a job, etc. Our meetups tend to occur on Mondays at 10am (rotating between Dol …

This group was created for gardeners in the Fremont-Union City-Newark (FUCN) area but gardeners from other areas are welcome to join as well. The group will meet to talk about FUCN gardening, give each other FUCN advice, and help each other with FUCN projects. There may also be trips to FUCN garden events or attractions. There will not be a set FUCN schedule until the group reaches critical mass. If you are interested in hosting a FUCN meetup, feel free to suggest one.

We are all descendants of farmers who worked their available land to produce the most nutritious food needed for health and survival. Today we are technically evolved yet disconnected from the farming process.  As a result our food supply has been jeopardized by a large centralized system that we are paying for with higher food costs, lower nutritional value and poorer overall health.  It is now time to seek  the knowledge of our farming ancestors by taking a different look at how our communitie …

Would you be TOTALLY excited to see water-guzzling, pollution-producing, "seen-and-not-touched" lawns, replaced by edible gardens and drought-tolerant native plant landscaping? Do you believe, like I do, that if one or two of those GIANT homes in upscale neighborhoods (or tiny homes in the flats) were to replace most of their front and back lawns with gorgeously eco-scaped edible gardens, other neighbors would follow suit...? Especially if there was a massive PR campaign highlighting the transfo …
