Altadena Community Garden’s newly formed Outreach Committee partnered with Girl Scout Troop 921 to complete the first outreach project. A raised-bed vegetable garden was installed in the yard of Adrian Griffin and her son Miles Johnston.

Special thanks go to garden members Jim and Chris Baughman for the donation of the wonderful raised box. This box had all the bells and whistles and was superbly constructed. The gopher guard and bird-netting frame were all included.

Special thanks also go to Altadenan David Apodaca of The Succulent Gardener. Thank you David for preparing the space, installing the box and supplying a healthy dose of happy red worms. The success of this project is a community working together!
