Vallejo People's Garden 

If you or someone you know has diabetes, check out this article that our friend, Corinne Quinn, wrote on Preventing, Managing Diabetes This Holiday Season featured in the Daily Republic on November 27, 2011: http://www.dailyrepublic.com/features/locallifestylecolumns/preventing-managing-diabetes-this-holiday-season/

Corinne Quinn from the Network for a Healthy California conducts a cooking workshop at the VPG featuring spaghetti squash. Here's the recipe she used to make a spaghetti squash and cucumber salad: http://goo.gl/HClof - This is a great vegetarian recipe to use for Thanksgiving. If you don't know what spaghetti squash looks like, here it is. It looks just like spaghetti when cooked. The same day, our friend and neighbor Kent Fortner of Road 31 Wine Co. donated six beautiful wine barrels to the Vallejo People's Garden, which we'll recycle and use as plant containers. Posing in front of Kent's '66 Ford green pick up are members of the California Conservation Corp , who spent a busy day with us at the VPG.
