School Garden…
Looking for a way to get outside and help our kids get back to nature at the same time? Please join the garden volunteer group.  We really need more volunteers to get the students out into our newly remodeled garden. We need help with our Open Garden lunch session on Wednesday, May 27 and/or tending the garden during the summer break.  It will only take a couple of hours a month.  Or, come up with your own volunteer garden ideas for next year and we’ll help you make it happen.   email Megan Goulden at megan.goulden@gmail.com for more information.

Have a great week!
