A Gathering of Friends

On Wednesday, July 28th, the Gilroy Demonstration Garden had it's first gathering of Friends of the Garden at Lizarran restaurant in downtown Gilroy. The Lizarran owners kindly let us use their patio, and even provided some tapas to go along with the salad, most of which was picked just that afternoon from the Garden itself.

One of the announcements indicated a Garden workday for Saturday, July 31st, as well the plan for a dinner in the Garden fundraiser in the Fall. More on what you will be heard called a "FRIENDraiser" in later posts.

The Garden needs Friends to help on a regular basis do such activities as bug patrol, watering, produce collecting, weeding, planting, plant care, as well as administrative tasks, like taking pictures for this blog. Whether you want to get your hands dirty or not, there is something YOU can do to help make the Garden a gathering place of beauty and bounty for the community. So, if you want to jump in, please send an email to friendsofthegarden@yahoo.com.
