Youth Event at Weed & Seed Facility on Earth Day 2009

Jay Bowen, sent us this short report about today's youth event at the Weed & Seed facilitities on 10th Avenue at Hal Greer Blvd.

"The Community Gardens and Huntington Weed and Seed projects celebrated Earth Day in a big way. We had the Governor, Mayor, State Senator and many other celebrities join in and lend a hand. A local Native American group provided music and Home Depot built the raised planters and supplied materials. Many volunteers had displays or booths on good earth husbandry and citizenship. However, I think this picture really captured the spirit."
