Thank you, Volunteers!

The students of University of Tampa continue to be a gift that keeps on giving to VISTA!

We had another troupe of amazing volunteers visit the garden last weekend and they spent several hours working on the beds and completing projects from the prior weekend.

Thank you, Karen, for working with this team to keep the garden growing!
