Cullen Wallace brought his Dominion teammates to the Community Kitchen Garden  for a full morning of work. The team works in the Customer Solutions – New Technology division and yes, they drove cool electric vehicles to the Garden! Cullen and his group harvested Swiss chard and cherry tomatoes, thinned turnip seedlings and planted broccoli. This team was a very important part of our early September push to get all of the fall (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower) in the ground as soon as possible. After all, we’re planting nearly 1,000 transplants, so it’s incremental progress, day by day.
