Join Planting Justice, West Oakland Youth Standing Empowered, and the after-school gardening class at Explore College Preparatory Middle School for a day of urban gardening and permaculture. We will be continuing to transform a grassy slope into a perennial food forest. The day will involve mulching fruit trees, planting winter cover crop, and sowing wildflower seeds. Looking to have about 30 volunteers.

A bunch of donated vegetable plants wil also be given away, courtesy of Planting Justice and Janelle Orsi, co-author of The Sharing Solution and contributor to Shareable.
