Fall Cleanup a Rousing Success

A great big Thank You to all of the wonderful people who came out and helped us get the garden prepped for a new school year, you guys are what keeps this program going. Our hard working volunteer crew meant business, and thanks to them we completed all of our lofty goals. We pulled all of the weeds (& mint) from the existing veggie beds, then added a good amount of soil to bring them up to within a child's reach. We also sanded, oiled and filled twenty 1/2 wine barrel that extend the garden and beautify our campus! A big thanks to the dad's club as they joined in the wine-barrel prepping - together we got it all done.
A special thanks as well to to Noah's Bagels, Nellie's Coffee, Thornhill Cafe & Lucky's Market for making food donations to our cleanup event.
If you missed out on the fun, don't worry- we're scheming up another one in a few months when we are hoping to revive (once again) our native garden. These are fun community-building events. Just check out the fine photos below!
