potatoes from local GRUB, geraniums,
lettuce and flower seeds, empty plastic pots,

Following up on the work done by Target employees a couple weeks ago, 8 volunteers from CAVE attacked the garden digging and pulling up weeds, planting peas and beans and the fall vegetable garden plants donated by Hodges Nursery. They worked a transformation on the garden and put down pathways to keep the kids out of the mud when the rain starts. They also collected and stacked brush from fall pruning of trees around the buildings and carted old construction materials to the dumpster.
Participating in the effort were:

Caily McElhinney - Liberal Studies Major
Bryce Fingudo - History Major
Aaron Karp - History Major
Jenae Laws - Psychology Major
Aaron Skaggs - Political Science Major
Michelle Loew - Communication Studies Major
Monica Hitchcock - Journalism Major
Brandon Lodge - Legal Studies Major

Many thanks go out to them from Chico Community Children's Center for there great work and spirit. We had fun and much appreciate the results on behalf of the center's Kids Nutritional Garden.
