Since our last update, community members and leaders,LA Conservation Corps corpsmembers, Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust and the California Conservation Corps.(C.C.C.) came together to build Eastmont Community Garden, the very first Little Green Fingers community garden in East Los Angeles. Community members expressed their gratitude for bringing such a positive and much needed addition to the neighborhood, and we, in turn, are so thankful for the community's involvement to bring this new garden to life. The next time you're in the area, be sure to stop by and see all the hard work everyone contributed to this beautiful new space! (Eastmont Community Center - 701 Hoefner Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012)
Our next community garden will be popping up in the City of Wilmington starting next month. This garden, the seventh of eight planned Little Green Fingers gardens, will be installed at the East Wilmington Greenbelt Park. Little Green Fingers, DakeLuna, Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust, and representatives from Councilman Joe Buscaino's office held three interactive design workshops so that Wilmington residents could share their needs and goals for the new space, and provide input into how the new garden should look and function.
Now that the third and final garden workshop to review, refine and approve design plans is complete, the next step is the garden build! Stay tuned for details on our community build day.

Thank you to all of our donors for helping to fund these flourishing community gardens. Thanks to you, these communities are on their way to better, healthier lifestyles!
