1) We are a garden Co-Op; we share our harvests. 2) We like to putter in each others gardens. It is more fun together and we like to show off our plants. 3) Big harvests give opportunities for Big Cook-Offs. Join us and make dishes to take home. 4) Learn about Edible Gardening, Natural Pest Control, Permaculture, Green Construction, Ethnic and Veggie Cooking, Computers, and TED. 5) Maybe a little wine and music in the garden as well. Many of our activities are ADA, elderly, and kid friendly.
