Planting
Party
|
A planting
party is suggested upon receiving a garden. This
party should be open to all your neighbors and many
friends. It serves as way for many people to learn
about the program and hopefully adopt it as well.
The first planting
party was held at the big blue house on Balboa street.
Over the course of 4 hours over 50 people stopped
by to join us in planting and learning.
