March 29-30, 2008: Berkeley and Davis DQU

This weekend Ida, Jose, Cesar, NIkol, Lupita, Guillermo and Sergio visited the Edible School Garden, Berkeley's Farmer's Market and drove up to Davis DQU. The garden design was developed, we ate a peaceful dinner put together by all of us, watched a movie and rested for the night to begin the next days work.

On Sunday, the IPP along with DQU residents began to work on the garden. Approximately 5 beds, and 5 flower beds were made changing the landscape tremendously from before and after. Tulip bulbs were planted as borders along the beds. This was a great opportunity to get hands on training for the students who plan on doing some garden work of their own -- the primary goal of this program is to begin and/or improve organic sustainable farming and gardening projects in our communities.
