🌱 CAF’s Community Garden Day!
Last Saturday, May 9th, CAF’s community garden came alive as over 15 volunteers and staff joined together to plant hazelnut trees, asparagus, and a variety of edible and pollinator-friendly plants.

This day was about more than digging and planting — it was a powerful reminder that gardening builds community, improves mental and physical wellbeing, and raises awareness about food security and food poverty in our county.

New friendships were formed as neighbors worked side-by-side to create lasting, sustainable food sources for our community.

A heartfelt thank you to the Woodbridge staff, volunteers, and all the eco promoters for their time and energy. 🪴🙏🏽

🌱 ¡Día de Jardín Comunitario de CAF!

El pasado sábado 9 de mayo, el jardín comunitario de CAF cobró vida con la participación de más de 15 voluntarios y miembros del equipo, quienes se unieron para plantar árboles de avellana, espárragos y una variedad de plantas comestibles y amigables con los polinizadores.

Este día fue mucho más que sembrar y cavar — fue un poderoso recordatorio de que la jardinería construye comunidad, mejora el bienestar mental y físico, y genera conciencia sobre la seguridad alimentaria y la pobreza alimentaria en nuestro condado.

Se formaron nuevas amistades mientras vecinos trabajaron hombro a hombro para crear fuentes de alimento sostenibles y duraderas para nuestra comunidad.

Un sincero agradecimiento al personal de Woodbridge, los voluntarios y todos los eco promotores por su tiempo y dedicación. 🪴🙏🏽
