Let's help them do this and feel free to share!!

Yeah! We're just over halfway to our fundraising goal that would allow us to launch "a garden for every school." But, we have less than two weeks to hit our goal of $11,250 so that more students can experience and benefit from garden-based learning. Please consider a donation today! We can't achieve this vision without your help. http://envirocenter.org/schoolgardens

Last year the COCC garden club made two trips out to Chimps Inc in Tumalo, a sanctuary for abused and neglected chimpanzees. We assisted in planting their garden that they watch grow throughout the summer. The chimpanzees also eat from the garden! If anyone is interested in going out this year, please comment below or send a message to the COCC Garden Club. We do not have a date set, but as soon as the weather warms up again we will be looking to head out. See photos from last year here
