Dear friends,

We have a wish list of bare root fruit trees (below) that we're hoping to plant in the permaculture food forest at Alpha Resource Center, 4501 Cathedral Oaks, in January. Each tree will cost approximately $30.  If you'd like to "sponsor" or donate a tree, please contact Larry Saltzman at lbsaltzman@aol.com or Marisa Bourke at Alpha Resource Center at mbourke@alphasb.org for information on how to make your tax-deductible donation to Alpha.  If you like, you may be able to honor someone with your donation, so this could be a great holiday gift with lasting value that will keep on giving to our community for many years to come! 

And if you'd like a tour of the garden at Alpha, please let us know...

For a more abundant Santa Barbara,

Linda Buzzell
