Community Outreach Project, Opening Day

I went back to Bracher Elementary School on May 5 for a second time. This time it was for capturing the opening day of the Community Garden.

City and School District officials, CLCA members, contributors took turn at the microphone.

The ceremony ended with children releasing ladybugs to the garden. Scroll all the way down to see how fun it was.


Allison's famous succulents.


A tree got planted by the city officials.


Here is the crew, the officials and the school principal.
