WM-4.corn

As you can tell by comparing it with the chairs, the corn IS as high as an elephant’s eye — at least on this garden plot!

 

The Altadena Community Garden’s annual Picnic and Resource Fair took advantage of good weather to show off the garden plots and have a little All-American picnic Saturday afternoon.  It was a good place to go to meet friends, have a great meal, look at the wonderful garden plots, and maybe be inspired.  More pictures after the jump.

WM-3.booths

Outside the garden, dozens of booths were set up to promote community groups, including CERT training, the Arroyo Food Co-op, Athens Services, University of California’s master gardener program, and more.

WM-6.food 

It was a groaning board of food for picnicgoers.

WM-5.drawing

WM-7.holden
