Flowers are an important part of our school garden program. I am in the annual & perennial flower gardens most early mornings and evenings planting, pruning, deadheading,weeding and watering. I welcome you to join me whenever works for you. If you are learning to garden, there is no better way than beside an experienced gardener. If you are experienced, you can join me in helping new gardeners. Either way, you will not be bored, you will go away with lots of plant starts and compost for your own flower gardens. Come and join in the fun. Please, do let me know if and when you would like to come.

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.
