A pretty spot in the backyard of a homeowner featured in the recent Elk Grove Sustainable Garden Tour If you have questions, …

This group is for those who long for a sense of permanence. It is for those who believe in the interconnectedness between culture, community, self, soil and food. It is for the nurturerers, the backyard farmers, the worm watchers. If you were raised in the modern suburb and cried the first time you tasted a tomato that came from a garden and not a store, you'll find friends here. If you are a scavenger, a mud builder, a farmer, a guerrilla gardener, an artist, a naturalist, an environmentalis …
