What's new?
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are starting off the year with some exciting events, we hope you'll join us to make this year the year for local food!
On Saturday, Feb. 6th, we are hosting a day of workshops at The Learning Garden to hone your Permaculture skill set: Rain Garden Design and Installation, and Fruit Tree Grafting. We're teaming up with our friends at Common Vision, Jughandle Creek Nature Center, and Samara Restoration to offer these workshops at a very good price: just $25 for both workshops, including lunch and a fruit tree! What a deal! Mark your calendars now, and call Susan if you have any questions at 964-0218.
The Black Tie Boogie is BACK! On Saturday, Feb. 13th, the day before Valentine's Day, put on your fancy pants, bring your loved ones, and join us at the Redwood Coast Senior Center for a classy evening. The night will feature a Jazz Lounge with the Richard Cooper Trio, a sit-down dinner, bar, silent and live auction, and a late night DJ dance party. Parents, you deserve a night out, so interactive childcare will be provided (children 3 and up) by MiniMoo, Sue Magoo and Jenny Too! The night will support both the Noyo Food Forest and the Redwood Coast Senior Center. I hope you can make it!
We need volunteers to help with the Boogie, from cocktail waitresses and bartenders to wait staff and cleanup. Please contact Kim if you'd like to help out at 937-0113 or the office at 964-0218.
We are also looking for auction items to help raise funds for the gardens projects. Do you have something interesting gathering dust in the attic? Perhaps a gift certificate you've never used? Or a skill you'd like to
share? Let's get creative here! If you think of something, please call the office 964-0218.

HOSPITALITY HOUSE KITCHEN GARDEN PROJECT:
Chef Jerry serves more than 100 meals EVERY DAY at this important resource for the unsheltered folks in our community. He has a tiny budget to work with so any fresh produce goes a long way towards healthier meals for their clients. This spring a group of teens from a local church planted a small veggie garden in the backyard and our Summer Youth Interns helped to keep it growing. Food Forester Gerry York built a sweet worm bin for the food waste and the garden is now looking great. Thanks Gerry!
If you'd like to help support nutritious meals at the Hospitality House, please drop off your garden abundance anytime! They are located at 237 North McPherson in Fort Bragg.
The garden still needs tools, seeds, etc. Do you have any of the following that you could gift to the garden?
If so, please call us and we can arrange for pickup. (707)964-0218. Thanks!
