  • How did you make the background of your website so pretty. I haven't figured out how to do that yet ??
    I liked your website very nice~
  • I live in Mesa
    Rt 60 and baseline. I have lived here for about 5 years and trying to get a hang on gardening in the Desert !
  • Good to see you Friday and make a switch. The group of boys in Queen Creek is Canyon State Academy, 20061 E. Rittenhouse Rd., QC. Phone (480) 987-9700. Don't know if they could chaperone some boys to the community garden for "community service." Another option might be the Juvenile Probation work/service program that takes a van of kids some afternoons. I know one stint is shoveling out a horse barn (probably Sheriff or Police or something). This might be a stretch, but you guys might be a good community service connection for them. I have a number for Probation at (602) 506-2504, but they would have to point you to the person in charge of the juvenile work/service program. I can't remember the title of it. Good luck. Let me know if something develops.
  • Jennifer:
    I have both coffee grounds (some tea leaves) from local coffee houses, and about 6 bags of pecan leaves, to help build up compost. Not construction materials, but I come to Mesa about once a week, to the 60 and Mesa Drive, and if you are near there I could deliver some for you. Interested?
  • Welcome Jehnifer!
    You have a lot to offer to this group, I hope you find this site useful in your endeavors!

Hey there, Stover Seed company donated 4 giant boxes of seeds to ASU's community garden but we simply cannot use them all. We have dozens of varieties from tomatoes to squash to radish. I have them safely stored both at the Tempe and Polytechnic…

After a year of attempted communal composting at Poly Gardens it has become clear that our original "honor system" method didn't exactly work. We obtained four repurposed barrels from the City of Mesa and positioned them near the tool shed. Members…

Well... I have almost 3 gallons of mesquite flour. Now what? Lol  Anyone care to share their best converted recipes? Is there anything I should watch out for when subbing mesqite flour for normal flour?
