Hello-

 

My name is Marisa and I’m contacting you as the Outreach Coordinator for Alpha Resource Center of Santa Barbara. Alpha is a 54 year old non profit organization that provides life changing support for people with Developmental Disabilities in Santa Barbara County.

 

Our main site is located on a wonderful 5 acre property with an established garden and large greenhouse. This property is utilized during the week by our Adult services program that provides support to 95 individuals with developmental disabilities. Many of our participants use the garden as a sanctuary where they can escape to a quiet restful space all their own. Although the space and the concept of the garden is terrific it is in dire need of a visionary group with a love for gardening to make it into a Paradise Garden for Alpha.

 

This brings me to the reason for contacting you. Alpha would love to find a local garden club who needs a place to meet and a garden pallet where they can explore gardening to its full potential.

 

If you know of any clubs who might be interested in this unique opportunity we would greatly appreciate you forwarding this information to them. Or, if you have any other ideas for us on how we can create a garden paradise for our participants we would love to hear from you directly.

 

Thank you-

 

Marisa Bourke
