Sustainability, Health & Education Garden
We thank Professor Greenleaf and Victoria Greenleaf for the stones used to construct our garden labyrinth. To date our stone sale has generated $307.54, which has been used to fund the construction of a wheelchair access pathway in the garden.
If you would like to volunteer to work in the garden, please contact Jerris Hogue at gnksho@yahoo.com or Paula Szloboda at pszloboda@jfku.edu or (925) 969-3514. Many hands make light work!
