Both of them have little to no experience gardening but were really wanting to join the effort in starting something here in the valley by volunteering their time.

It came about after I realized that I had installed Ubuntu on many of the computers of people I knew, however I cannot always be there to provide them with support. These videos serve as help for the average computer user in their transition into the world of the Ubuntu Operating System. You can take a look at the videos here.
