La Jolla gardener donates service to elementary school

The kindergarten playground at La Jolla Elementary School was looking a little neglected, so parent Julia Kaplan asked her gardener, Armando Castro, to help parents spruce it up a bit.

Castro, a father of four, brought his crew from Hanano Landscape Services, some plants and a truckload of compost over to the campus Sunday and spent the morning rejuvenating the space. And then he refused to take payment of any kind, saying he was happy to do it for the kids.

  • Time to forget or time to remember? May 18, 2013
    Jordan Rosenfeld, in his letter of May 9, said it’s time to stop the comparisons with Hitler and Nazi Germany, such as made by Jim Donovan (me) and Tom Pickwell in making their (separately submitted) cases against Big Brother in America and his ever bigger and bolder encroachments upon the liberty fought for by our inspired founders and guaranteed by the Con […]
