Garden Installations Done!
Our FIRST TWO VGSD Garden installations are done. . . and they're beautiful! Thanks to all our volunteers, who under the garden guidance of Mindy Swanson created a beautiful food garden for the Tsegaye family and her day care children on March 28. Click here to see photos of this amazing transformation from patchy lawn to beautiful garden in less than 6 hours!

Thanks to Mindy, again, and Beth Townsend for their leadership on our second installation at the home of Diane Moss. If you want to see how to gopher proof a garden, check out the pictures! Thanks also to Van Ommerings Dairy who donated compost and Lowe's, Mission Valley, for their generous discount on garden tools and equipment for both installations.
