How Does Your Garden Grow? Come Find out at the Museum

There's a bountiful garden growing outside the Museum of the San Ramon Valley with corn, tomatoes, beans, melon, kale, flowers and more.

The garden is part of the museum's Victory Gardens/1940s Kitchen exhibit now through September 18. Visitors will learn about how and why people used gardens to reduce pressure on the public food supply during World War II.

Families tending to backyard gardens won't want to miss demonstrations about gardening and canning.
