Spring Garden Blitz! has been deemed a success in Ukiah. Thanks to the CCC, Together We Can! Mendocino, the parents at all the school gardens, Schat's for donating 7 dozen pastries to keep our volunteer fueled, Cold Creek Compost, Oak Valley nursery, Home Depot, and the City of Ten Thousand Buddahs. Also a huge thanks to our partners in Willits and Ft. Bragg for making this a county wide event! All played an integral part in getting our gardens ready for the most successful season yet!
All of our volunteers did an awesome job last Saturday. Volunteers helped get boxes re-built and filled with compost at N. Pine street senior apartments, the gardeners at Orchard got their plots de-bermuda grassed and ready for the summer season, Talamage pre-school planted strawberries and fruit trees, and S. Ukiah head start built a lovely fence out of bamboo.
Spring Garden Blitz! was truly a community endeavor. Over 88 volunteers served 299 volunteer hours at 10 gardens across the county. Everyone played an essential role and contributed to the successes at each garden. The Gardens Project and the gardeners can not thank all the volunteers and businesses enough!
