August monthly meeting

This weekend Huerta del Valle held its monthly community meeting/ information session with great success! The guest turnout included current HdV members, new and interested gardeners, community residents, the Dorothy Quesada TAC youth group, and special guest speakers from Warehouse Workers United. This months meeting was all about compost. Participants learned how to start home composting by using small bins, compost layering techniques, and what items to add versus what items to leave out of their compost. In addition to garden updates, different ways to get involved at the garden, and strengthening communal relationships this months meeting was a little different because we started accepting garden contracts for phase 2 plots! After the meeting 5 plots were distributed! Looks like phase 2 plots are going fast. If you couldn’t make it to this months meeting mark your calendar for next months meeting- September 21st.
