Photos and ideas for Outdoor Kitchens / Indoor Kitchen Carts

Mary Jo Greene <mar...@madegreene.com>: Nov 19 10:53AM -0800 Hi everyone!   I would love to see everyone's outdoor kitchen set ups, from the very posh to the most basic! Plus, if you don't have outdoor kitchens, would love see or hear about any indoor / outdoor, portable kitchen carts that you may use.   Huge thanks in advance!   Mary Jo

"Adopt-a-bed" program launch questions

Abbi Marrs <mbm...@ucdavis.edu>: Nov 19 11:02AM -0800 Hi everyone, One of my school sites in northern Santa Barbara county, California is a community school and we want to offer 9 beds in the production garden for school site families to adopt or sponsor. It would be advertised as a "donate what you can" cost since some will be able to pay and some will not. This is something we will be launching in the coming weeks and hope for full sign ups before winter break. In addition, I really want this to be something sustainable once my programming sunsets at the end of this school year. Has anyone had experience with this and the best way to go about launching this program? I have a feeling some of our other sites will also want to participate.
