Then, on June 21^st, we’ll join in the SV Garden Faire, which the VWC Board voted unanimously to support with a contribution and is a Bronze Sponsor. Come to Skypark from 9 am to 5 pm, and learn lots about the benefits of organic gardening and sustainable, healthy living. Stephanie Sakasai will give a special presentation as one of the speakers. Plan to come to this free event, with exhibits, speakers, food and entertainment.
