We sell vegetable, herb, and flowering plants to support the Loveland Primary and Elementary School gardens. We need volunteers to help with a variety of jobs from setting up the sale on Friday, experienced gardeners to share their knowledge with shoppers Saturday and Sunday during the sale and people to help customers to their vehicles.
It is a fun experience, and we provide dinner on Friday and lunch the other days. It is a great opportunity for parents and grandparents to share a volunteer with an older child (10 and up). http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0d48aaad2aa7fc1-plant for more information.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to foster lifelong connections to the wonders of the natural world. We believe in the benefits of immersing kids in the outdoors from a young age and the lasting impact of positive impressions with nature. To support this, our non-profit creates and manages garden and nature based programs on school grounds for elementary students. Our garden and nature trail are used to enhance classroom study while allowing children an opportunity to experience nature, the satisfaction of growing their own food and contributing harvest to the local food pantry.
