These young gardeners seem to be enjoying their work day at school.

Super Mom Kelly Long

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

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.

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…

Everyone helps

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…

Julian's demo

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.

Git 'er done!

"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.

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.

Mother and Daughter

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.
