School Gardens Rock!

Sadly, today was my last day at Farm King, a campus garden at Thomas Starr King Middle School.  Hidden inside the walls of this urban Los Angeles school, Farm King is a delicious treat and natural getaway for the students, gardeners and cooks.  Almost every Tuesday for the last few months, I have volunteered to help students in gardening, harvesting and cooking from their organic garden.  I am sad that I can't continue to volunteer, but my career calls and 11 to 4 on a Tuesday just isn't possible anymore. 

Please check out the blog here:  Farm King Blog.   It talks about all the wonderful projects, activities and meals we have with the students, including fabulous pictures.  Need the motivation to get your garden thriving?  Volunteer at a local community garden.  You'll feel immensely inspired to grow your own garden and reap all the healthy benefits.  It really is a fabulous way to spend a few hours outside catching some rays.
