For our Friends in the garden - our garden co-founder and wonderful human, Zander Shaw, passed away recently and unexpectedly. We will miss his constant presence in the rows of veggies and his expansive plans for this project, among so many good works he was involved in. Please take a loving moment to remember him.
Support is being organized to help his partner Amy at this time, please see ways you can help at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565608829985

Our community is gathering together to support Amy after the sudden and tragic loss of Zander. They contributed so much of their time, energy and hearts to our community over the years. Please participate generously to help Amy over the coming months.

Some early harvest treats! We thinned the carrots and the babies are so sweet! Kale and chard are garden staples all season long .
