LMV leader profiles

Leader Profiles Our member leaders are the heart of La Mesa Verde. For some members, gardening has always been an important part of their lives, while others discover a passion for gardening through the LMV community. Every member pledges to volunteer 12 hours in one year, and can do so by joining one of eight mutual support committees. These committees work with one another to direct the work of La Mesa Verde by designing events, building gardens, mentoring new families, and taking local action. Through committee work, gardening experiences, and the development of strong relationships, members often become community leaders. Here, four community leaders tell their stories.
