A Community Garden on Mount Laguna!!


Good news!!!


Our friends atop Mount Laguna are starting their own Community Garden!!!


Nica, the owner of the Pine House Cafe and Tavern, is spearheading the effort to start a community garden on her grounds. With so many Mount Laguna residents (including my parents) living on forestry land, gardening isn't an option for many mountain top residents. So Nica's offer provides a wonderful opportunity to build community spirit as well as to grow and harvest delicious herbs, vegetables, etc.!


Here is Nica's latest e-mail:


We will be holding the first Mount Laguna Community Garden Meeting on Saturday, March 3rd 10:00am - 11:30am at the Pine House Cafe & Tavern (formerly The Eagle & The Bear Cafe). I'll provide the space, coffee, and baked treats, too! You bring your ideas and enthusiasm! --- and please bring a chair if you’ve got one that’s portable!


We Pine Valley gardeners will also be meeting with Nica before the March 3 Mount Laguna meeting to network and share ideas. If anyone is interested in joining Judith, Ann, and Susanne in meeting with Nica, please e-mail one of us (e-mail addresses are listed in the sidebar).


So we wish our elevated neighbors (forgive the pun!) all the best as they begin the wonderful and challenging journey to community gardening!!

Plans for Spring!


Here's our plan for spring planting, as designed by Judith, Ann, and Timothy (the latter of whom drew up the plans on the computer).


We'll let you know when we'll start meeting this spring as the frosts dissipate and work will need to be done!


Stay tuned....
