Gamble Gardens in Palo Alto, Ca

     If you ever are in the Palo Alto area, you must visit Gamble Gardens! This was going down memory lane for me, I had lived just a few blocks away a few years ago. You'll always see residents strolling through, photographers getting the perfect shot, workers eating there lunch enjoying natures bouquets. 
     This is a beautiful garden and has a historic home on the grounds, this makes it a excellent setting for an intimate event, wedding ceremony, reception or a business retreat, all in the heart of Palo Alto.

Strawberry crate project

Hello, Darnell here, Today after visiting the Karl Linn Community garden, I moved on to steps 4 & 5 of my Strawberry crate project.
4.  I lined each crate with plastic which were previously filled with soil and compost bought from Home Depot.
5. Filled each crate with good soil. I bought 8 bags of the veggie mix from American Soil & Stone. Well, I'm pooped, I will finish step 5 tomorrow, transplanting strawberries then adding mulch.
