On July 4th 2010 at the Sunnyvale State of the City event in Washington Park, Art Gianfermo received the Community Volunteer of the Year award.
Art was recognized for being the “heart and soul” of Charles Street Gardens, Sunnyvale’s community garden, for his tireless efforts. He volunteers as many as up to 20 hours a week focusing on the Food Forest activities. The goal of Art’s Food Forest permaculture project is to provide fresh produce to families in need via a partnership with Sunnyvale Cares. Art always welcomes new volunteers who wish to help grow food for the hungry and learn more about gardening.
Please stop by Charles Street Gardens and congratulate Art on his well deserved award.
