The compilation of months of planning, labor, meetings, and lots of love and sacrifice by a few people fueled by a vision of agricultural involvement and education in the heart of Warren College at UCSD is partially captured in the photos below. Come out and see the evolving garden for yourself or get involved by contacting Jessica (me) at 858. 733. 0087 or at jbaltman@ucsd.edu.
