Mission Viejo suspends children gardening classes after instructor’s son’s death
Diane Weber, an agricultural instructor, ran the Seeds Trees and Honeybees Green Thumbs in the Garden and Junior Master Gardeners programs at the Mission. Her 13 year old son Alex Weber was killed amid a July 4 stabbing at his Mission Viejo home. Tamara Bohler, 45, was arrested in San Juan for the fatal incident. The Mission has temporarily suspended the courses as Diane faces personal tragedy and officials consider temporary or merged programming with the existing ceramics program.
