Time to take it easy and meet all the gardeners out there. Gardening from 5-6:30, potluck dinner from 6:30 to sunset. Come when you can, leave when you have to.
We are building a Free Food Garden outside at the Arroyo Food Co-op. There are two benches on the patio, some logs to sit on and a coffee-table/bench.
Progress:
we have a coffee table/bench made of pallets
sprinkler components have been purchased
plants are being watered
friendships are forming

mulch is piling up in the garden
You can be a part of this. Join us for fun, camaraderie, exercise and learning (gardening and non-gardening activities available!)
