Leslie Goldman is a California real food activist.
They say all good things start in California and head east,
which is why Leslie’s voice is so illuminating on the subject
of food and farming. His playful Keep the Beet campaign
speaks even to the youngest child about the beauty and sanctity of nature.
I believe in the work of Michelle Obama very much
to help our kids. I am known as Uncle Leslie in the classroom
at Hamilton High School in Los Angeles
where my niece Eva Becker launch the
Keep The Beet Project in her science classrooms.
These students have tasted now from the lovely
Hami Organic Garden, as well as a harvest of beet greens
and beats.
I have discovered that the secret of developing
the "beet" gene comes from getting our feet in the soil.
Photos of the Hami Garden can be seen on Facebook.
Here is one project I will do...
Called the Fairfax-Hami Organic Garden Challenge.
I voted for President Obama.
We have reached a point where I want to discuss
my vote in in the next election.
For me, it is no longer about Democrates or Republicans.
It is about who is caring for Real Food Safety and the addressing
our food emergency. The issues of GMO labeling,
the issues of encouraging people to grow their own organic food
are critical to a sound economy.
I see a Tipping Point having been reached
as Organic Stakeholders and Grass Roots join hands.
I say "Lettuce" grow together.
We need to build bridges with all sectors of agriculture.
My sense is that most of us have lost the our personal beat with
nature. The way back is to grow a bit of our own food.
This is my National Agenda. I want to see school kids
growing an organic beet in a pot surrounded by organic alfalfa.
We can regain a sound economy as we invest in
the Bank of Compost. What other choice have we
but to support true earth based homeland security.
This means looking toward creating and fostering
the next generation of organic farmers with support
from thousands upon thousands of organic gardeners
who Keep The "Beet."
THIS CRITICAL MOMENT
IN OUR HISTORY
Humany is perched as a rock falling.
Which way will we go?
I have made my choice.
THE RETURN TO AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
'Til all success be nobleness, and ev'ry gain divine!
O beautiful, for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!

Leslie Goldman. Always figured I'd wait for some desperate
moment. Now. it's here." --Bob Baker,
Los Angeles Times Magazine
"A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings, this he said to me
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn
is just to love and be loved in return."
From the song NATURE BOY
Lyrics by eden ahbez
recorded by Nat King Cole, 1947,
the year I was born.
"Do you remember, a lifetime ago,
when Nat King Cole had a hit song called
NATURE BOY? It told about a
'strange, enchanted boy' who wandered
far, very far, and when he met you,
he taught you many things. I've met
that boy, or someone very much like him,
and he is now a man known as the Enchanted
Gardener. I may never be the same."
--Paul Froemming, writer at Large

We need to do this now
for the next generation.
Do it for them.
I will attend the Organic Summer September 21, 2011
at the Hilton Baltimore thanks to my allies
Kelly Shea of White Wave, and Gary Hirshberg of

PUTTING OUT FEELERS
WITH MY FRIEND KIMBERLY HARTKE
TO VISIT THE WHITE HOUSE GARDEN
I will be in Washington D.C.
Sunday September 17, 2011

My Seed Dream to visit the White House Garden
just came one step closer.
Kimberly Hartke, PR for the Westin A Price Foundation
is a relative of Vance Hartke, the former U.S. Senator.
Her Mother in Law frequents
White House Functions.
She is going to pursue this.
I need to communicate to the president
about my vote....
I believe we have evolved beyond Democrats and Republicans.
It is about doing the right thing by our food.
I believe we need to get our beat back with nature.
The only way to do this is begin to grow some of our own food.

We can no longer ask nature to adapt to us
but more so honor the journey of learning.
We can turn our breakdowns into breakthroughs.
CAMPAIGN TO EDUCATE WASHINGTON
ON REAL FOOD SAFETY
VIDEOS ON THE NEW PLANT YOUR DREAM WEBSITE http://plantyourdream.net
THESE ARE OUR AIMS
1-To support mobilization of one Farmers’ Market in our local area, the Hillcrest Farmers’ Market in San Diego. To continue to work with local organic farmers and help them sell more of their produce. To continue to produce
short video's about foods and shoppers at the Hillcrest Farmers' Market.
To continue to educate shoppers about the use of foods sold by local organic farmers.
1A -To See and Seed the success of the New Roots Community
International Rescue Committee Farm. To help in all ways possible
to tell the story and stand with these farmers and local IRC garden
products, including the Aquaponics Center.
2-To continue to develop a 1/3 acre parcel of land near San Diego State College named the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community Growing Grounds where those who live here and those who live around the world may study our process of learning how to keep the beat with nature. Through learning to live together cooperatively as a household we seek to live in harmony with the earth. The motto of the house will be Keep The Beet.
Spring 2011 Outreach:
Through growing a simple beet in a pot,
and grow organic alfalfa in pots, we can regain our beat with nature.
Not all in the house garden. Some like to prepare food. Others help with other jobs, or rent rooms. The land, as of June 2011 has a need to be refinanced. b A Trust to hold the land is one idea that has been suggested. The Seed Dream would be to leave a museum and park for future generations to learn from this experiment in cooperative living. This experiment in cooperative living has been going on since the early 1970′s. What we learn here can help others, and Washington, understand and adapt to some of the shifts being asked of all of us now. The focus summer 2011 is to create more infra-structure and prepare to be a local community resource through these
Shifting times. We need to begin with ourselves, and here in our backyard.
3- To develop relationships with those who influence Washington and government. A vast coalition across all political, religious, and philosophical lines has now formed. Mainstream media needs to be reached through bloggers filling the gap where journalism once told all points of view. Elected leaders need to be encouraged to follow the principles expressed in the song “America The Beautiful.”
4- We see the world as we know it now coming to an end. A Shift has already happened. It is for each of us to adapt to the earth and relearn the laws of nature, rather than attempt to further adapt nature to our ways. The source of our economic and health crisis is that we have lost our beat with nature. We can regain the beet through becoming once again a nation of gardeners who live in a world of gardeners. One Pot+One person=You are a Gardener. Start to grow your own food now.
5- To accept the mandate, that in San Diego we can model a city
growing its own food. To do all we can in our own backyard to
further this Seed Dream. To work with other groups through outreach,
and create events where the community can join in our extended
community here.

ON LESLIE GOLDMAN
YOUR ENCHANTED GARDENER
Leslie Goldman, AKA Your Enchanted Gardener, plants seeds of
success for super ripe people and their dreams. The Ultimate Gardener morphed from a "Seed Dream" between Leslie and the publisher, Peter Vegso, at the 2008 Book Expo America. Leslie's
companion is Keep The Beet Media Star, The World's First Talking Beet Plant.

starting with growing a local, organic beet in a pot. "Keep the beet.
Eat the beet greens," is Beet's message. Leslie writes daily on the "Plant
Your Dream" blog, and sees photography as a way to show how he
sees the world. You can learn more about Leslie's Enchanted Garden Projects by viewing http://curezone.com/blogs/f.asp?f=92
