Community artists were recognized at the January board meeting of the Vallecitos Water District for contributions of their artwork to the District’s Sustainable Demonstration Garden.
“Artwork is a wonderful addition to any garden, as it still sparkles when the plants are going through their dormancy period,” said garden creator Lisa Urabe, a UC Master Gardener and recently retired Vallecitos employee. She explains that the artwork also helps draw more attention to the garden, introducing residents to the value of sustainable gardening.
Contributing artists span multiple generations, from a Brownie troop with members ages five to eight years old, to a painter who beautified the garden’s Seed Library, who is age 97.
