The Gardens Project love the United Way and their Day of Caring. Over a dozen volunteers descended on the new Washington Avenue Community Garden and the Nokomis Elementary and Head Start School Garden this Wednesday, September 8th. Within 3 hours this fantastic crew dug and installed a 100ft. french drain to deal with soggy paths and installed an arbor and herb bed at the Washington Garden.

At the Nokomis Garden, this crew did a thorough clean-up, weeding, and harvesting of the garden in preparation for the Homegrown in Ukiah Community Garden Tour and Fall plantings.

Much thanks to the fantastic volunteers and their employers who gifted them to the Gardens Project for a day: Mendocino Co. Health and Human Services, First 5 Mendocino, Fetzer Vineyards, and Ukiah Valley Medical Center.
