Project Garden is off to a roaring start in the Los Angeles area!

EarthSave’s Project Garden is designed to educate people in a fun and productive way about the many benefits of a plant-based diet. A pilot garden in the Los Angeles area recently had its first harvest. The crop included beans, peas, lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and more.

The Los Angeles garden was started in January with generous contributions from individuals, a local nursery and Home Depot. In six short months, an unused plot of land behind a local school was transformed into 12 ten by ten planting sqaures, which were then planted by kindergarten through eight grade classes. The garden is being maintained during the summer by teachers, and the school has planned to make it a permanent installation.

Project Garden . . . planting seeds of change!
