This Plant Your Dream Blog has links to some of the places where the youth of hamilton High School Los Angeles and Fairfax High, and teachers, and staff can stay connected with some of the "Uncle Leslie" projects I would like to do with teens. We are in a very important point when more and more of us are being called to grow some of our food. The youth will lead the way. This Plant Your Dream Blog is a Seed Dream for a Fairfax-Hami Organic Food Growing Challenge. Most dreams and visions start with seed ideas called Seed dreams. When the dreams receive positive feedback this is a form of fertilizing that helps them grow. I will keep you posted with the growth of this Seed Dream. For now, it is taking form through these images from the Fairfax Hall of Fame Induction Event at CBS Television City on Saturday, June 18, 2011, and then "Uncle Leslie" sharing some teachings on the Monday of the final week of the school year in the classroom of my niece, Ms. Eva L. Becker. Ms. Becker is an outstanding science teacher in the Academy of Music at Hamilton High School, Los Angeles. I was deeply touched by the preciousness of the students I met. The experience was endearing, and my heart reaches out to this youth who are making amazing contributions to our world with their youthful enthusiasm, song, and spirit of hope. Both Fairfax High School, my alma mater in the class of 1965, and Hamilton High School, are facing extreme budget cuts that are jeopardizing outstanding programs. If in some way, I can contribute to help these schools through this proposed garden project, and through rallying some Organic Trade Association ()TA) members and allies to help further develop the wonderful Hami Garden, and begin a garden at Fairfax High School, this would bring me great joy.
PHOTOS FROM THE CLASSROOM
JUNE 20, 2011
I was very excited to visit a number of the classes of Ms. Eva Becker on June 20, 2011. The enthusiasm of the students was endearing.
Ms. Becker helped guide a few classes through the Plant Your Dream ritual that I do. I gave a gift of one of my photographs to the classroom. The students signed it and it is hanging in the classroom. I also and took some photos of on Tuesday, June 21, 2011.
the Summer Solstice, of the Garden. I was very impressed with the Hami Garden. Fairfax as yet does not have a garden, but
had one in mind.
Before I left Hamilton High School on the Summer Solstice 2011, I gave some more beet seeds, Job's Tears, and large beet to
plant the Keep The Beet Project, and a bucket of Foxfarm soil to Paula Waxman, the garden coordinator. I also took photos.
This is the Summer Solstice 2011. I am planting a Seed Dream that the Youth of Fairfax and Hamilton High School, two of the Hollywood Land Schools that produce tremendous talent that go into performance will have the funding needed for their very outstanding programs that are facing budget cuts.
Our youth are are investment in a bright organic future. I sense we are each called now to be an Organic Uprising, Standing Up for Nature's Original Technology.
I provided some beet seeds for the Hami Garden about one year ago. They gave a big harvest!!!
Now I am seeding the Fairfax-Hami Organic Food Growing Faceoff!
As I see it, I will begin the project through introducing organic food for the science room of Ms. Eva L. Becker, where the kids will have an opportunity to be introduced to good organic food in her classroom pantry. I am seeing and seeing that these teens have a taste of what the world of nature has to offer.
My program is called Plant Your Dream. Teens and adults need organic food grown to help dreams come true. Dreams need the micronutrients provided by loved soils so our seed dreams can flourish!
SPONSORS
Thank you for stepping up to the farm bed to reward these teens for having a life shifting experience seeing who can grow the most food in the next years to come ! Let's make sure that both these schools having the public awareness through the Organic Food Challenge to continue their worthy programs in music, the arts, and athletics.
These are science kids, and they need to know about our bright organic future at a time when much of our food supply is being challenged by other invasive gene practices that are new on the evolutionary seen.
Thanks for joining the Fairfax-Hami Organic Food Growing Challenge Page on Facebook. Your comments and feedback

John Tunney, National Football League Referee for more than 33 years and a leader of the Herb Albert Youth Foundation, with Leslie at the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony June 18, 2011. John Tunney was one of three being inducted. Keep The Beet Media Star, The World's First Talking Plant, directed Leslie to come up for the event at CBS Television City, a few blocks from Fairfax High School. That's Keep The Beet growing in a pot on the Leslie's table at the CBS event. One Person + One Pot=You're a Gardener, sez Keep The Beet, that famed plant that will be featured in a Hollywood animated cartoon.
GO FAIRFAX LIONS, BEAT THE HAMILTON YANKEES IN ORGANIC FOOD GROWING!!!!!
When I was in high school in 1962-65, I considered myself somewhat of a nerd. I did not fit anywhere. It took me many years to discover I was Your Enchanted Gardener here to plant Seed Dreams. I want to make sure that our kids get a chance to discover who they are too! In was at Fairfax High where I discovered my relationship to nature in a little pond now gone that had
tadpoles and toads to befriend. The athletic coach Dave Ridderhof helped me become the manager of the Cross Country Team. He was one of my first positive male role models. This helped my self esteem during very trying teen times. Teens need the kind of teachers in my niece Eva Becker of Hami, and those I see doing so much good work at both Fairfax and Hami. Let's help them out now!!!
As a member of the Press Corps, at the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) meeting in San DIego in 2008, I saw an engrained and established relationship between the Biotech Industry and our Genius Youth. Funding goes to give scholarships for science teachers to attend BIO. Their lead students who are guided into science careers in the Biotech field. I would like to have some of the youth today introduced to the organic principles of food growing that have been so close to my heart and a part of bio-diverse culture since the beginning of Nature's Original Technology was first seeded on the earth.

Los Angeles, June 20, 2011. I took organic beets to the Hami Garden a year ago. The honor teens in her
fifth period class knew all about "Uncle Leslie" before I arrived. They harvested the beets.
New learnings will come during the Fairfax-Hami Organic Food Growing Challenge.
UNCLE LESLIE @ HAMI HIGH!
Chewing on this one, dear friends. I am launching with your help the Fairfax-Hami Organic Food Growing Challenge. Which School and gardeners can grow the most food over a period of years ? OTA members, allies and friends are invited to sponsor the food growing challenge that will educate the teens and raise funds to support worthy music, art, and athletic programs that need help during California budget cutbacks.
