Good morning sunshine! The first of the sunflowers has bloomed, just in time to greet the kids Thursday. Nice planning on the part of the pre-K teachers! Scroll down to see a few more pics from today, and/or look at posts from May, early June, June, July & August to see how far the garden has come during its first season! Want to get involved? September is a great time to join the garden committee and help us realize a fall harvest event, a school-wide garden-naming contest, a rainwater harvest system, fresh basil and oregano options for pizza Fridays, more planters, more funding, and more planting! Visit the space on the corner of 1st and Denton Sts, see other posts and pics on inclusions.org/garden and join the virtual group, http://groups.google.com/group/372garden, to stay in to the loop.
