Flower Delivery for Buddha

Shown below is a typical flower delivery from Green Gulch Farm for adorning City Center altars every week. City Center uses flowers from the Green Gulch garden as much as possible through the summer months when they are more plentiful. Volunteers—like Mark, who took this photo, as well as Marcia Lieberman and others—create arrangements from a delivery like this for the many altars around the temple each week. Thanks to our volunteers for their lovely work and dedication!

Green Gulch flowers and other organic produce are available at farmers’ markets  as well (see times and locations).
