Offering a leafy friend or two to individuals and groups who may benefit from the joy and wonder and tasty outcome of gardening but for whom plants are either not accessible or affordable ..or hadn't occurred to them. In addition to various veg, herb and fruit friends we are delighted to offer unusual varieties of many plants and we have acquired some VERY groovy special bags for growing potatoes this year and have launched a potato challenge.
Our team and sponsors. Thank you ...
Az and Sean from Paradise on Picnic , San Rafael's donated hundreds of plants, their passion for seed diversity provided us with rare/unusual varieties.
Sleepy Hollow Home Owners Association and Good Fairy Tim donated and raising seedings and Good fairy Sheri also donated several gorgeous plants.
Nancy and team at West Marin Compost donated a cubic yard of compost, and Chipper Tom delivered it. Michelle and team at Marin Ace ( Merrydale Rd) donated 25 additional bags of compost.
Good Fairies Matt, Davis, Tiger and Michelle have potted and delivered many plants - let us know if you can help.

Here are some organizations we are donating too, many of whom have accepted our potato challenge.
