Summer Garden Update

Summer session has been a success thanks to the wonderful efforts of our Spring term, the harvest was plentiful and our garden club, green team, and parent garden class was been able to pick from the many flourishing zuccinni plants, strawberry bushes, and lettuce heads.


In other news, we made the news this summer! Green Team members Jennifer and RJ were photographed as they dug for potatoes during one of the G-Team's work-parties. As a class we filled two large sacks full of gorgeous purple potatoes. The Green Team also prepped the garden for fall (weeded, cleaned, planted). To read the complete article click here.
