AHS visit to garden 7-23-10

On Saturday, July 23, 2010, the American Horticultural Society’s    National Youth Garden Symposium participants toured through Milagro Allegro as part of the “garden exploration” portion of the symposium to learn more about our LA Sprouts afterschool program. We received numerous compliments both about the garden and the LA Sprouts program throughout the weekend at the symposium, as well as particular words of recognition from Roger Swain, the symposium’s closing keynote speaker (Alice Waters was the opening keynote) who is best known for hosting a PBC show on victory gardens.
