Volunteers alter La Luz landscape

Effort saved nonprofit estimated $30,000|

When La Luz Center asked retired landscaper Dave Waldron what it would cost to landscape their new building, Waldron offered to gather some of his landscaping friends in the Valley and do the project for free.

He recruited donations of plants, materials and labor from nine local businesses plus some additional labor from his Rotary friends and La Luz volunteers. Waldron estimates that these donations saved La Luz over $30,000.

“The landscaping industry relies on immigrant labor and we know the importance of La Luz in bettering our Hispanic community,” said Waldron. “It’s been a pleasure to help La Luz landscape their beautiful new building that will provide so many valuable services.”

Participating businesses include Sonoma Materials, Sonoma Mission Gardens, Nyberg Landscaping, Watersaver’s Irrigation Supply, Sonoma Wholesale Nursery, Landscapes Unlimited, and Waldron Landscaping.
