This past Saturday BRANCH and Denver Urban Gardens with the help of several community members worked on preparing the Hinkley High School garden plots for the growing season. The weather was wonderful and everyone worked hard pulling weeds, constructing cedar edging around the plots, transporting compost and working it into the soil. Thank you to all who came for your hard work! We hope to see everyone again at the next workday!

A special thanks to Jessica Ponder for helping everyone sign up for a plot/assigning them and organizing this great event!
