🌱 T-5 Days Until the V.E.G.I. Kickoff! 🌱
Join us for a fun, free community event to launch the growing season with La Puente’s Valley Educational Garden Initiative (V.E.G.I.)!

🗓 Tuesday, May 13th
🕕 6:00 – 7:30 PM

The V.E.G.I. Kickoff celebrates weekly gardening nights—a time to grow food, build community, and prepare for a bountiful harvest. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just curious, there’s something for everyone!

🌿 Why V.E.G.I.?
We empower people to take charge of their nutrition through:
✅ Hands-on learning
✅ Teaching gardens
✅ Volunteer opportunities

Plus, we partner with local groups like PALS, Alamosa Elementary, and the Boys & Girls Clubs to teach kids about healthy eating. And the best part? The veggies we grow help feed guests at La Puente’s community shelter.

Come garden, learn, and grow with us. 🌼
Bring your friends, your family, or just yourself—we can’t wait to see you there!
