Food For Thought

Garden Manager Rachel Gardner reports that sweetpeas are in full bloom. The garden volunteers have just planted tomatoes and cucumbers. Everyone has been busy harvesting chamomile for our FFTea project.

There are lots of peaches and cherries on the trees. And, our new asparagus-strawberry- raspberry-blueberry beds are going strong. If you haven’t stopped by the garden lately, come take a look.

We want to offer special thanks to the folks at Diageo for pitching in and turning over some new garden beds (among other things!). Looking for work-group bonding in the form of a community volunteer day, employees of this wine, beer, and spirits conglomerate visited Food For Thought to lend their helping hands. We were all impressed with their enthusiasm on what turned out to be the hottest day of the spring. They came courtesy of Hands On Bay Area, an organization that connects service-minded companies with community NPOs.
