Having a variety of plant and animal species increases the health of an ecosystem.Another thing to consider, is the positive effects using an underused tree would have if there were a pest outbreak.

All vegetables and fruits planted in the garden here and at the El Cerro Mission urban garden are started as seeds, either planted directly in the ground or sprouted inside.When Smith de Cherif was running for her seat on the board four years ago, she knocked on 5,000 doors and listened to the stories people told her.“What I heard, especially in El Cerro Mission and Meadow Lake, was that there was almost no opportunities for people to feel good about their communities and help themselves in those areas,” she said.Board members held several listening sessions on the east side of the county based on...
