3. Discussions and plans were made for the school garden project. Vicki sketched the plan with suggested plantings from the group. Arvind to finalize sketch on PowerPoint.
4. Arvind suggested that for future projects we can apply for grants from the City of San Jose. It takes 6 months to get grants so it is too late for the school planting project. We will apply for grants on the Evergreen Beautification project headed by Sally Brooks-Schulke. Arvind volunteered to work on application process.
The meeting was adjourned at 12:00 by President Vicki Rasmussen. Some of the members headed to Portola Valley to tour a Master Gardener’s Garden.
