We had such a good time teaching children about harvesting, seeding, composting, etc.
Our Wilson Garden table had a great success. We were at the Wilson Fall Festival selling: seeds harvested and packaged in recycled paper by our students; tickets to raffle the 8 pumpkins harvested by the students in our garden; very nice gift bows made out of recycled paper by Diana Reynolds; and garden alphabet and message stepping stones with paint donated by GREENER STOCK.
All of this thanks to the enthusiasm of teachers and students and the time donated by our Garden Committee volunteers (and their patient husbands and kids): Alisha Molloy, Diane Reynolds, Kirsten Stilgenbauer , Jennifer Donnellan, Rebecca Sievers and Susan Prince.
We also shared the table with Cassandra Farm at the last day of Anderson Farmer's Market, in the company of David Lindquist owner of Cassandra Farm and our gardening knowledge source/main Wilson Garden project helper. People were amazed learning what we have been doing at Wilson Elementary and were more than happy to buy our products to support the garden.
