City Farmer Nursery is a great example of a business that builds community
and vice versa. Unfortunately, due to Woker's Comp laws, the normal throngs
of volunteers aren't able to give of their time anymore but hopefully other
states don't have the restrictions and can really build on what Bill at City
Nursery has started for the San Diego Community by teaching community
members how to garden. In turn, he was able to keep labor costs down. This
is a really dumb law, because his volunteers could sign a waiver, but oh
well, dem's the law.
Here's an example of an event that doesn't run into city regulations...
City Farmer Nursery 21st Annual Pumpkin Growing Contest: Wrangle up your
little ones, your grandchildren, nieces & nephews, neighbors kids and teach
them the joys of gardening. It's never too early or too late to share the
fundamental awesomeness of gardening! Seeds and sign up information are now
available at the nursery. This FREE event is open to all children ages 16
and younger. 1st place wins a $100 savings bond, 2nd place wins a $50
savings bond and 3rd place wins a City Farmers Nursery gift certificate.
City Farmer Nursery is located at 4832 Home Ave. in San Diego. Phone (619)
284-6387. Bill has giant pumpkin seeds to start your garden.
