Gardens Celebrate Earth Day!

This year, we decided to celebrate Earth Day by getting our hands dirty!

11 Gardens, 2 California Conservation Corps (CCC) crews and a whole lot of enthusiastic volunteers spent the week of Earth Day shoveling compost, spreading mulch, installing irrigation, battling weeds, building fences and planting starts! Whew!

Thanks to all the gardens that participated by hosting a work day:
Grow the Good Food Garden- Fort Bragg
South Valley High School- Ukiah
Yokayo Elementary School Garden- Ukiah
Grace Hudson Elementary School Garden- Ukiah
Calpella School Garden- Calpella
Willits Charter Elementary School Garden- Willits
Yuki Trails Garden- Covelo
Anderson Valley High School Garden- Boonville

And thank you to all the wonderful volunteers and the hardworking CCC crews who gave their time and energy to getting these gardens ready for spring planting!
