Calling all Mar Vista’s Green Gardeners! The 2012 Mar Vista Green Garden Showcase has been scheduled for Saturday, April 21st from 10am to 4pm, as part of a City-wide Earth Day Celebration.
Mark your calendars to take the tour – and if you’d like your garden to be included, please contact the Mar Vista Green Committee and fill out their Garden Questionnaire.
The Mar Vista Community Council Green Committee will meet this Sunday, October 23rd at 9:30am at the Mar Vista Farmer’s Market. 
Come join the Committee that brought you the Mar Vista Green Garden Tour three years running, as well as the Wise Water Expo and the Wise Power Expo. Agenda items include: the Urban Beekeeping Study, possible letter of support for the Fair Farm Bill, planning of 2012 Green Garden Tour and much more. See the full agenda here.
It was a June Gloom Day in August here in Mar Vista, but that didn’t stop the crowds from coming out to get their veggies at the Mar Vista Farmer’s Market!
Today was a big apple day at the Market: Gravensteins were here for one day only! Did you read about Walker Farm in the LA Times last week?
Also, have you tried Skylake Ranch’s Pomegranate products? This is Chris Brown, Operations Manager, with a couple of the things they make. I tried the fruit spread he gave me and it’s very nice; not too sweet and with a little sour bite. Just my speed. They have syrup and salad dressing I’d like to try as well.
And the Green Booth did double duty today: One side had Sustainable Works, which will be running workshops in LA starting this fall (check out the MVCC Green Committee’s website for all the details)
- and the other side had Alivia Hunter and Lillian Gardner from LA Costume Swap, who were there to promote the Big Costume Swap Day on October 9th, 2011! Save the Date! The Farmer’s Market will be overrun with “Green” Halloween Costumes! Green-O-Ween!
