Happy New Year from the Oakhurst Community Garden Project
Have you ever stopped a member of the Oakhurst Community Garden Project staff at an event, in a restaurant, or in one of the gardens and asked about a program, plants, etc? Then you realize the OCGP actually has staff. Many comment, “This place has staff?” Indeed, the OCG does–a staff of seven to carry out the Garden’s extensive programming.Oakhurst Eats Black Eyed Peas
