Madera's Demonstration Garden

Hey Dana here again,

Sunday November 24th Darnell and I went to Madera Elementary School.  There they have a really nice vegetable garden.  The way the garden is set up, is according to each class room.  Each classroom has a raised garden bed and each child is encouraged to plant something within the garden bed and then encouraged to take care of what they've planted.  From the garden bed the children are able to eat what they've planted or take some home to share with the family.  In the garden they have Broccoli, Parsley, Mustard Greens, Carrots, Red Leaf Lettuce, Pak Choi, Olive Tree, Blood Orange Tree and Apple Tree just to name a few plants that's growing.  Continue to plant, grow and share.

Happy 24th Wedding Anniversary Paul & Kathy Chappell !!

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.
