Two young gardeners at work
These young gardeners seem to be enjoying their work day at school.
Super Mom Kelly Long, organizer, planner, and hard working builder!
Kelly Long spent many hours planning, arranging for and delivering materials for the project. Thanks to her, the project went off without a hitch and we met our goal of 11 new garden beds.
Working together
Sometimes it is hard to find a project that parents and kids can both dig into – but this family is quite happy to share a task.
Another happy (and willing) worker
There were so many names I missed, but this lady was at it from start to finish and never slowed down, and that smile never left her face. I think she had a good time…
It was great to see the kids working along with the adults.
I love the way we had the kids working with adults, and they kept up their end of the work. This is so much better than sitting in front of the TV…
Master Gardener Julian Hoyle gives a 'hand on' demo
Master Gardeners led a demonstration of soil preparation where participants learned valuable lessons on soil prep and watering practices.
"Get 'er done!" say these scouts.
These young men had a great day and accomplished a real day’s work without complaint. In fact, I think they rather enjoyed it.
A young lady working on soil prep
It wasn’t all boys who got to have fun that day. We had equal opportunities for girls to show their stuff. This young lady is preparing soil to receive the next garden box.
A Mother and Daughter team learning about sowing seeds
This mother and daughter team took part in the seeds sowing demo, and here are shown practicing what they have learned. These were beads they were planting for practice. This girl will be ready to start her seeds when schools opens.
A Young Scout at work building garden boxes
The scout troop was out in force, and they WERE a force in the day’s efforts
Young Builder at Work on the boxes
Some people (below and to the right) just showed up. This family is from out of state and got caught up in the moment. Thanks, guys!
