The Co-op's Mission continues

A group of volunteers is already working to design and prep a backyard co-op / community garden. Pictured here are two of those volunteers, Sandi Baker and Geoff Davidge. We'll start with 24x24 space with raised beds for herbs, pumpkins and a few other things and design it as a "teaching" garden that will also aid the co-op with some of those fresh herbs that are so challenging to stock. We'll be seeking funds for this project via grants and donations so watch for more info as it all develops. SUCH FUN GROWING AND LEARNING TOGETHER!
