The public is invited to join the Wellness Community Valley/Ventura for the Help Plant the Seeds of Hope groundbreaking at 2 p.m. Sept. 7, for its Garden of Hope.
Free entertainment and refreshments will be part of the event, said Kristin Thebaud, representing the organization. She said officials from Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Simi Valley and Moorpark will attend and, outfitted with hard hats and goggles, will use jack hammers on the walkway.
"Once the garden is complete, program participants will benefit from additional space and the features we are incorporating," said Suzanne Drace, organization president.
"Our children's program, Kid's Circle, is at full capacity, and the garden allows us the ability to provide them with a wonderful new outdoor learning experience."
The wellness center is at 530 Hampshire Road, Thousand Oaks. Programs are available free of charge.
Founded in 1982, the Wellness Community is an international nonprofit dedicated to providing support, education and hope to people with cancer and their loved ones.
As a local chapter, Wellness Valley serves more than 2,000 community members affected by cancer each year.
