Ticket Information

New York, New York

So anyone from NY going to be attending? Post here and hook up with fellow  Freedom Gardeners in your area.

Here’s some nifty Freedom Garden badges you download and print on label paper wear with your FG ID name.  Or print up some of these flyers to hand out at the event to recruit more Freedom Gardeners in the New York area.

This “Facebook” for modern day victory gardeners is a site by and for the people – and you are the people!

So use this comment box below (or Freedom Garden Forum) to give a shout out if you will be attending and start hooking up and networking – hey, even bring seeds to swap.  It’s up to you to make this screening a “happening!”

We’d love to have photos of the film premier complete with a GROUP shot of Freedom Gardeners who attended.  We’ll post the pictures and reviews of the film.

Who’d like to volunteer?

I just watched the trailer, I adore the music! Are we able to purchase the soundtrack? :D Or would you know if Jay & Molly have a CD/iTunes for purchase?
