Rethinking community development: Diana Schmitt at TEDxUNCAsheville

The garden is host to 70 families, over 100 fruit and nut trees, a medical and native species plant trail, and 45 mushroom logs. Through its volunteers, the garden donates over 3,000 pounds annually to families in need.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
