Meet Sophia Allen from Elysian Valley Community Garden

My daughter Abbie and I got involved with the Elysian Valley Community Garden through her Girl Scout troop a couple of years ago, and now we even have a plot of our own. I find that no matter how busy we get, we make time to come to the garden almost every day to work with the plants and get our hands in the dirt – it’s the perfect antidote to the stresses and demands in our lives. Now Abbie and her friends really understand where their food comes from – and they discovered that they love earthworms!” -Sophia Allen.
