Community garden needs your vote
The Root 66 Garden needs your help. It stands to win $50,000 from a Pepsi Refresh grant and all you have to do is text.
This fall, garden organizer Dee Matreyek hopes to break ground on a community garden on Foothill Boulevard near Day Creek. Located on the Southern California Edison corridor, Root 66 Garden bills itself as the biggest community garden west of the Mississippi. If the garden wins the Pepsi grant, the $50,000 will be used for water well equipment and irrigation system.

Here's how you can vote:Matreyek has big plans for the 15-acre garden. When complete, members of the community will be able to rent plots and take part in a farmer's market. Excess produce will be donated to local food banks and homebound seniors.
You can vote online by clicking here and then clicking "Vote for this idea." You can do this everyday through June.
You can vote via cell phone by texting "106896" to PEPSI (73774). You can also do this once a day this month.
Finally, you can "power vote," which involves entering a code on specially marked Pepsi products online. You can vote this way 10 times a day.
Thanks Wendy!!!
Quite an innovative idea for Rancho.
I placed my text vote for today and will try to remember to continue to do so daily into the coming weeks.
Keep the votes coming. A community garden need the community's help to make it happen.
quite surprised that something like this would appear in a suburban wasteland. How refreshing. Texting now!
