We need help in our FH garden! It's time to refresh our garden and we need help weeding and organizing.

Here's some pictures from Living Classroom which is where some classes will receive lessons and learn about science and social studies topics that range from observing lifecycles and understanding ecosystems, to appreciating Native American plant lore, to cooking and healthy eating with projects like mint tea or guacamole. This Living Classroom program and the garden maintenance is covered by PTA funds, which are your donations at work.
From Amanda, our Garden Lead: I wanted to take a moment to give a huge thank you to some incredibly generous companies who have supported our school garden.
Burpee, Reneeβs Garden, and Baker Creek all donated a wonderful variety of seeds for our teachers and students to grow next year, and HealthiStraw came through with a large donation of their GardenStraw mulch for our raised beds.
As a gardener myself, I have used and truly enjoy products from all of these companies, so it makes it even more special knowing our students will get to learn and grow with them in the garden next year.
The weather is getting warm, but it is still not too late here in zone 9b to get something growing in your own yard. If you do, I hope you consider showing these companies the same support they showed our Forest Hill community.
We are so grateful for their generosity.
