Volunteers from the Chico Target Store converged on the parking lot of Chico Community Children's Center this Saturday ripping, clipping and tearing into the vegetation, compost, mulch and sand piles and finally leaving the Children's garden and parking lot landscaping looking and feeling as if it had just received a much needed scrubbing.

Setting things to right were the following

Claudia, the Center Cook, gathers greens from the children's garden for lunch. The kids have been busy planting corn, beans, squash, radishes, and cucumbers. They have been sampling the Strawberries, Blackberries, mint, onions.

The garden is an interesting place, but you might need to explore it to find out why.

Though things look to have slowed down for the winter there is a lot of stuff to explore in the garden.
