Garden Updates: Noelle Kehoe, OV employee, is on board to help us enter into the Chefs Move to Schools program!  

Efforts continued yesterday on our existing garden features. Mr. Wright's Plants and Soils class was back to continue their work on the raised beds. Some kids helped "liberate" the growing aspargus spears from their weedy beds!  That's now two down and one to go. Thank you Raspberry C. for serving as project photographer. And congratulations to Andras G. for providing the first officially approved garden related community service time.

Stay tuned for news about an official garden groundbreaking ceremony! 

If you are interested in helping out with the La Farge School Garden project, there is follow-up meeting tentatively scheduled for Monday, April 2nd at 6pm.

School Garden Update

The asparagus is coming up in the school's rapidly expanding garden!
Mr. Wright's Soils class has been working with the Wellness Committee's School Garden group, and we have growing participation from Organic Valley, Farm Links, Americorps Farm to School Initiative, and other local school groups. Check back often for more updates!
