Come on a tour to a suburban garden stocked with native plants valued for their medicinal value. The Rosewood Palo Alto garden is about 12 years old, converted from non-native grass to native plant areas. The garden features a pond with waterfall and bathing area for birds and wildlife, a native pollinator meadow, edible fruits, and a compost area. The tour will be followed by a question and answer session with the garden owner. This talk is part of the 2021 Going Native Garden Tour, which started in April, and is providing virtual tours throughout the year. Register for the tour at www.gngt.org to receive updates on upcoming tour activities. Radhika Thekkath is a retired computer scientist who has been gardening with native plants and has been an active member of our Chapter for over ten years. She recently returned to California after a three year stay in Washington state. Her more recent work includes active forestry management and stewardship as well as sustainable building with cob and straw bale. She is currently completing an in-depth course in permaculture design. This talk will be live streamed on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/c/CNPSSantaClaraValley) Good sources on native medicinal plants and their uses: https://efotg.sc.egov.usda.gov/references/public/GA/23MedicinalPlantstheNativeAmericansUsedonaDailyBasis.pdf

Doggie Protective Services - How did we get so lucky!

I adopted a dog here last summer. I stumbled upon the post online on a Thursday & decided to apply…read more That evening I received an interview phone call (I actually ended up chatting with the volunteer for an hour!) The following morning I received an email that I was invited to meet/adopt. I paid the $75 deposit and scheduled a meeting for Sunday morning, to give myself a day to think it over. Friday night I spent some time looking into the rescue since the previous steps had happened so quickly. After reading reviews, I was definitely upset & VERY hesitant after reading how their meet and greet process goes and where the dogs come from. Saturday I mulled it all over, and decided to go visit the dog Sunday with a list of restrictions. I went early to stake the place out, it was definitely sketchy in a back parking lot and felt weird. Eventually the dog rounds the corner with his foster parents and we meet. The dog was exactly as described & his personality and demeanor matched perfectly to what I had heard about him. He jumped into my arms and I knew then there was no way I was leaving without him. I spent an hour there with the dog & the fosters. They answered all my questions, didn't rush me, and I really got a sense of the dog. Months later and he is still the same dog I met that day- I know this isn't the case for everyone, but I'd say give it a chance!

We were very skeptical on going along with this rescue based on reviews AFTER we came across a post…read morethey, or someone, had made on Nextdoor. The dog advertised was up our alley. Family oriented breed, puppy, and per the bio a very possible suitable addition to our growing family. I shot out the application and it was very lengthy. It took me us some time to complete but in the end we though it as a good thing. A good screening process etc. We received the email that we would hear within a few days. Low and behold we heard back in 24hrs. This was Christmas eve at this point. Quite a shock in a good way. We scheduled the phone call meeting and as it said, it did take about 20 minutes. The person I communicated with really read the application and answers and had me elaborate. Again, very thorough we though, which is a good thing. Then BOOM, email saying we've been chosen to adopt. We were in shock. A process we thought that would take some time, maybe a week, took about 5 days. We arranged to meet the day after Christmas at the safe house and met the fosters and the pup. The fosters were very sweet and took their time answering all our questions. In the end we chose to adopt the puppy and everything worked out wonderfully. The safe house was very inconspicuous and inside was stocked and didn't seem in disarray which was a good sign. As for the pup... he is exactly as the bio stated to a tee and we are lucky to have him. Sure, the fees are a little, maybe a lot, higher than other agencies, but hearing how they rescued, fostered, paid for neutering/food/vaccinations, transportation, etc it made sense. Plus, the breeds they rescue and advertise do seem to be on the attractive side, but that's the way they do it and how they operate as any other business would. We have no complaints and are grateful.

hubby surprised me with a cheese making 101 class at collective roots this weekend. didn't know…read morethat this place existed in east palo alto and must admit was a little wary of the location, but once we got there it felt like we were at someone's private residence. there is a beautiful garden with herbs, vegetables, fruit trees, chicken coop with hens and roosters, and beehives! we made 5 different yogurts and cheeses in our short 3 hour class: -yogurt - went through the steps of yogurt making using culture from store bought yogurt -greek yogurt/yogurt cheese - let the yogurt drain and have a richer yogurt -cultured butter - yogurt culture in fresh butter -ricotta - super easy to make and enjoy -mozzarella - fresh mozzarella in 1 hour the class was enjoyable, we got to meet lots of new people and learned a lot about local produce and cheese making. the best part was using the fruits, herbs, and honey right from the grounds of collective roots! nothing like fresh, local produce. great experience...can't wait for cheese making 102!

Every interaction I've had with them whether donating, volunteering, or simply learning more about their programs has left me inspired and grateful that such a dedicated team is working to fight hunger right here at home. What stands out most is their professionalism and compassion. The staff and volunteers treat every client with dignity, and you can feel how deeply they care about making sure families have access to healthy, nutritious food. Their operations are incredibly organized, and the scale at which they serve the community is nothing short of impressive. I also appreciate how transparent they are about where donations go and how efficiently they use their resources. It's rare to see an organization combine heart, innovation, and operational excellence so seamlessly. If you're considering supporting a local nonprofit, volunteering your time, or looking for a meaningful way to give back, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley is an outstanding choice. They are making a real difference every single day.

When it comes to food security or a lack thereof, you need a charity that literally helps put food on peoples table. They provide food for those that would otherwise have to do without. They also take fruits and vegetables (You must call ahead and set it up) along with the more typical donations. In addition you can also volunteer to help sort and setup. They have a website to help direct you. However, it is very popular and sometimes days are already filled up. As with all charities they need our help. How can you help? 1) Food donations. Every bit helps 2) Volunteer to help out 3) Cash is king. Consider a cash donation so they can pay for operations and buy essential items that they don't get donated. I mean how many cans of pumpkin filling can you make someone eat right?
