The free event features CSA sign-ups, a TED Talk on landscaping, and a wealth of information about community gardening.
It might be the doldroms of winter, but this is when community gardeners start thinking about the spring thaw, said Amy Milgrim of Sustainable Cherry Hill. That's why her organization is hosting a "Food for Thought" fair at the Camden County Environmental Center today (1301 Park Blvd., Cherry Hill).

As the owner of Cherry Hill's Playdrome Bowling & Entertainment Center, Perper had grown accustomed to managing his electrical consumption, the third-largest expense of the thirty-six lane bowling alley.
