Laura Guevara commented on Rachel DiFranco's group LEAF Center Garden on Niles Blvd."Ed your garden has been getting lots of TLC. I will go water it again tomorrow. Let me know when you get back ok so I know when I am not needed anymore."
Laura Guevara replied to Laura Guevara's discussion Lets Think Big! in the group LEAF Center Garden on Niles Blvd."Fish emulsion is organic but it is very stinky. It is very beneficial to lawns and gardens."

"I concur with Dwight. Miracle Grow is not what we want.
But I do think that soliciting donations from the big guys who can afford it could prove worthwhile. We just have to be selctive in what we are asking for and what they expect of us. Free…"
Dwight S. replied to Laura Guevara's discussion Lets Think Big! in the group LEAF Center Garden on Niles Blvd."Depends on whether the garden is supposed to be organic, which I thought it was. If you go using Miracle Gro, that stuff ain't organic. But other items might work."
Laura Guevara added a discussion to the group LEAF Center Garden on Niles Blvd.
Lets Think Big!
Just a thought..... Has anyone thought about contacting major corporations such as Orchard Supply Hardware and Home Depot for donations? They are typically allotted a budget for donations that they can use for write offs.We may potentially be able to get organic plant food such as fish emulsion, soil, drip systems and who knows... much more.It may be that someone has thought of this and I haven't read through all the articles and posting's just yet. Any thoughts on this?LauraSee More

- Why did you decide to join this group?
- I want to save our local nursery. And I believe that we need a local community garden here in Niles. Times are tough for a lot of people and even though we have local help for those of us in need from a food bank. It shouldn't mean that we have to sacrifice our health. We need fresh vegetables and fruits more readily available to us.

Jenny Mosley said… - Hi Laura:
I was planning to participate in the garden on Washington Blvd. as it is close to my home.
Thanks for the heads up about a bookkeeper. The post did not have a date - - the position might be filled already. I went ahead and sent an email expressing my interest and also included a resume. Not sure if I told you this before but I have prior experience with a non-profit organization that included handling the accounting for a $500,000 grant from the California Energy Commission.
See ya' soon,
Jenny

To access the garden, use the alleyway, to the left of the Niles Post Office.
Good luck,

Help us grow!
The City of Fremont has approved our plans to build community gardens in the old Mission Adobe Nursery, but this plan is contingent on our ability to raise $30,000.
If we can raise $15,000 from the local community, StopWaste.Org will provide us with a matching grant of $15,000.
