PINE RIDGE GARDENS

In March, Plenty Gardening Advisor, Dennis Limon and our Gulf Coast recovery Program Director, Tony Sferlazza and Gulf Coast Recovery volunteer, Kody Kontz traveled to Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota, to assist the community and home gardens project that Plenty has been involved with since 1985. Their mission was to renovate the project greenhouse and help get seedlings started for the spring planting. The crew pictured at right (from left to right) included Kody Kontz, Tom Cook, Lupe Esparza. Louie Cook, Milo Yellowhair, Dennis Limon, Misty Sioux, Dwayne Locke, Bo Davis and Wally Jealous of Him.
