My husband and I stumbled upon the Cooks Garden after brunch on Abbot Kinney two years ago. We were so intrigued by the beautiful garden in the middle of the city. Although we loved our new apartment and recent move to Venice, we were missing a little extra outdoor space for plants and gardening. After chatting with Geri, we instantly knew we wanted to join the harvesters program. Geri is incredibly knowledgeable and kind, we just adore her. She has taught us so much over the past two years, about gardening, utilizing all parts of each plant, and how to broaden our cooking abilities. It has been such an incredible journey. We feel a sense of tranquility and happiness every time we step into the garden. There are also many events held here. While we love picking our own produce, and eating what we harvest, these events may be my favorite aspect of the Cooks Garden. They are fun and bring the community together. Not being LA born, having this sense of community brings so much joy to my life. The cooks Garden has truly become our second home and we are so grateful to have it.
