What an amazing year! A big thank you to everyone who helped make such a vast improvement. Special thanks to our interns, professor Anne McKnight whose wisdom and connections proved vital to our success, Wynbrandt Farms and Steven Wynbrandt for the amazing bio-dynamic compost that made all the difference as well as his knowledge he passed onto us, and to the programs that helped fund this project: the UCLA Healthy Campus Initiative and The Green Initiative Fund.

Considering the elevated price of produce this year, such a garden could provide considerable savings."

The three steps in digging up our beds:

1) (top) Dig up the beds and remove wooden frame. 2) (bottom left) Lay down weed barriers. We put two layers to be safe. 3) (bottom right) Sift soil to remove large bits of wood and gravel and add compost and potting soil.
