Huge thanks to everyone who came out to the V.E.G.I. (Valley Educational Garden Initiative) Kickoff! 🌱💚 It was a joy to launch the growing season with you all.
We’re excited to start Community Garden Nights, running May through September! 🌿🍅 These hands-on evenings are about more than just gardening—you’ll learn how to grow fresh food, connect with your neighbors, and support a powerful mission. The produce we grow goes directly to La Puente Home’s Community Shelter and the Food Bank Network of the San Luis Valley, helping nourish families across our communities with fresh produce!
Come dig in, grow with us, and be part of planting something that matters. 🥕🌻
