In 2009, new gardener Misty Florez stepped up and volunteered to lead as Garden Coordinator. Under her guidance, we gardeners incorporated by-laws and rules, held monthly Steering Committee meetings, raised funds to expand the garden and have gone from a sleepy vacant lot of under 20 families to a dedicated volunteer community organization of over 45 families. Gardener Melissa Shook has documented our progress in photographs since 2010.
Although there is oodles of material to add, since we are all volunteers, this website is not always uptodate. Check back here and also to our FaceBook page to time for new photos and news as we work to archive our history and progress. |
