We want to make the garden opening a yearly community event, where people can come and mingle, meet their neighbors, learn a bit from guest speakers, and enjoy themselves. Please help us ensure the first gardening event is a success! I look forward to seeing you at this special event on April 20. Thank you! Your community garden coordinator and neighbor,Res Hauck
