Serve Fresno Supports Community Gardens! |
|
|
This year, the Al Radka Community Garden benefited from these efforts with 90 youth from a variety of churches participating in an Alternative Spring Break program. Over the course of three days, these students helped clean up weeds and rebuild pathways in the garden. A great start to the spring planting season! Big thanks to all who came together to make Fresno a better place to live! Click HERE for more information on Serve Fresno. |
