Constantine Family Garden and Orchard

Just over in San Dimas, tucked behind a family home, abundance is growing, blooming and producing a variety of delicious fruits and vegetables. At church I kept hearing about The Constantine Family Garden and Orchard, but I wasn't exactly sure what it was. Last night, Tim Constantine spoke to our church's social group about what has happened here since the garden's inception about a year ago.

Tim and his sisters grew up in this house and now the backyard has been transformed into gardens and an orchard, the bounty of which goes to feed the hungry through Inland Valley Hope Partners in their food pantries and family shelter. The garden has a communal work day on the first Saturday of the month, and volunteers are encouraged to drop by and help for an hour or more.

Many students have already used this opportunity to gain volunteer credit from Damian High School, the University of LaVerne, as well as the Claremont Colleges. 

You can help by going to the Facebook page and contacting Tim, who coordinates what gets planted, etc. Or you can make out a check to Hope Partners with the Constantine Family Garden and Orchard in the memo. I can't wait to go see this gem for myself.
