First Lady Michelle Obama tours New Roots Community Garden yesterday, winner of a Special Jury Mention Orchid in 2009:
  
"Located on a small 2.5 acre lot in City Heights, a grass roots effort has finally taken hold to create San Diego’s first community farm. One juror noted “Kudos to the groups’ collective perseverance in spending three years and over $50K in City of San Diego required permits and processing to get this project out of the ground”."
     
We're thrilled to see this beautiful community effort get the national recognition it so richly deserves!
