Press Release

International Kitchen Garden Day

A Global Celebration of the Most Local of Foods

28 August 2005


Kitchen Garden Day is an annual, decentralized celebration of delicious
foods produced on a human scale. It is an opportunity for people around
the world to gather in their gardens with friends, family, and members
of their local communities to enjoy the multiple pleasures and benefits
of locally-grown, hand-made, organic foods.

Kitchen Garden Day is coordinated by Kitchen Gardeners International
(KGI), a 501c3 nonprofit organization based in the US with friends and
supporters in over 40 countries. KGI's mission is to celebrate
home-grown, home-cooked foods in their many international forms and to
promote their role in bringing about a healthier, more sustainable, and
more pleasurable food system.

"With gas prices hovering at record highs and consumer confidence in
industrial, processed foods at an all-time low, the case for eating
foods of local and known origin has never been stronger," says Roger
Doiron, founder of KGI. "Kitchen Garden Day is about celebrating the
bounty and diversity of delicious foods coming from our own backyards,
both literally and figuratively."
