The School is closed for Summer, but not the Garden. Come Volunteer with Us!

Before school closing we were able to put together a great Garden Club to take care of the Garden during the Summer, so that kids will enjoy some harvesting when school opens again.

The main activities of the Garden Club volunteer is to water, weed and mow the loan.
Entire families are participating and at times entire streets of a neighborhood. Kids enjoy spending time at the garden and playing on the school playground. Parents do some exercise and feel good about helping keep alive the school garden for next year. Plus they often get a chance to make new friendship with other families who shares the value of educating kids about healthy foods and take care of nature. And when the work is done it is nice to bring home some fresh harvested lettuce to enjoy for a healthy family meal.

We also involved kids in more seeding.
During the Summer we will grow
Tomatoes
Basil
Carrots
Beets
Summer squash
Peas
Beans
Water melons
Corn
Sunflowers (some tall up to 16 ft)
Pumpkins (some big up to 100 lb)

Most of the harvest will be ready by the end of August just in time for the kids to be back.

We still need volunteers, especially for July. If you are interested click here and submit the form with all your data. a Garden Committee member will contact you with all the information.
