JIA-CHI

The Echo Park Time Bank monthly member potluck was held at our newest community member organization - Homegirl Café.  They’ve built a beautiful garden in the back parking lot in Downtown LA, where they hope to grow 30% of their veggies/fruits and herbs from the garden!

Time Bank VIP member, Doug Tiano, showed off his clams from the Children’s Puppet Theater Show Seas of Science.

Meredith Hackleman and her toasted squashes.

Found some bright blue milk crates.  And received some free California Bay trees from LA city’s “Million Trees LA” initiative.  So I planted them in the crates, with burlap as a liner to liven up my street and apartment complex.

My complex doesn’t have a yard.  So last season, i planted some tomatoes in some crates in the back patio.  And now, it’s harvest time!
