| |  | 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.
