Trestle Creek Community Garden Kudo’s
We are coming to the harvest time of our garden, which we, at Trestle Creek‘s “Friendship Center”—offer our immeasurable gratitude to our garden mentor,  Akasha Reiner. Akasha’s precious and dedicated presence has moved us. Each and every Wednesday since April, Akasha offers her time and expertise — to guide our children and families with ‘planting seeds’, learning about the garden care, and learning more about the magic of ‘growing’. I am deeply moved by her dedication to our mission — as well, her generosity of mind, body and spirit — for adding to our wealth of sustainability at Trestle Creek.
