A new school year means a fresh start in the garden too!

Before students return, there’s work to do in their outdoor classroom, tending crops, saving seeds, and checking what survived the summer. 🍅🍓🌽 🐿️

Because school gardens aren’t just outdoor classrooms, they’re places to explore, connect with nature, and find a little calm in a busy day. 💚

Here’s to another year of growing together 🐻🌱
