Our Edible Garden Dedication Party on January 23rd

Mr. Johnson and Gabby talking about the garden's journey



The amphitheater was full of volunteers, MC families and special guests like Supervisor Susan Adams!

We sincerely thank our local food donors for the event: Aidell's sausage, Nicasio Valley Cheese & Peets at Northgate, and semifreddi's for their donations.

More Dirt, Rock and Fence Posts

Northgate PEETS coffee and doughnuts

The weekend of August 7 & 8th we moved more dirt to make the garden a flatter surface area. Peets Coffee & Tea at Northgate donated coffee and APDW donated the doughnuts. A local contractor, Cagwin & Dorward, donated a tractor with an auger and an operator, Guillermo, to drill our fence posts on Saturday. Guillermo did an awesome job. On Sunday, Gary finished up the holes and installed the wood headers for the drainage bands while April, Julia and myself, with help from the Slanec family, mixed concrete and installed the posts for our deer fence and woolly pocket wall. We shoveled gravel into the drainage bands and for the foundation for our shed/kitchen. We dug a lot of dirt for the area that our cistern will be going. We did not see any gophers today. Perhaps the bobcat and the tractor have finally scared them away.
