What a wonderful summer day to start a pumpkin patch for our school's garden: Jardin Del Sol. On Saturday June 15, 2013, I opened the school at 5 am for our volunteers from Los Vaqueros, Junior League of Las Vegas, and Project Dinner Table. The volunteers were eager to enlarge our agricultural planters by combining nine small planter beds into five large planter beds. What a task this was!
Volunteers dug trenches around the existing planters, removed weeds in and around the planters, moved and added 900 Windsor blocks, and wheelbarrowed tons of pea gravel and topsoil. Volunteers worked in 3 hour shifts. Some volunteers stayed from 5 am to 4 pm. That is commitment!

Huge Thanks to Los Vaqueros, Junior League of Las Vegas, and Project Dinner Table. We couldn't have done it without you.
