An Arts and Culture communication and collaboration channel, vital to a Healthy Sustainable Community
My name is Amy Allen and this blog is an appeal to avid gardeners and members of Placer County for help in leading gardening/sustainability workshops at the new Community Gardens at Sierra Christian Church in Loomis. On April 14th, there will be a grand opening event bringing together local vendors, live music and non-profit organizations such as the Gathering Inn, Placer food bank and the local chapter of Heifer International.

Breakout groups will be formed around the subject interests of those attending. Last month we had the following groups: Community/School/Church Gardens, Sustainable Human Health, and Local Grower Market and Business Development.
