Welcome Back to School!!!


What a thrill it is to feel like the garden actually is beginning to look like a garden for school to begin. There is still a long way to go before we can begin garden classes and so that is where the teachers, parents, and community comes in.

We are needing some of the following items for the garden- if you are able to lend a hand or donate to the cause, I assure you it will be a gift that keeps on giving and growing all year long.


  1. Mulch- 6 yards of wood chips
  2. large cardboard to sheetmulch the remaining pathways
  3. Help sheet mulching the rest of the garden
  4. Finished compost- 10 yards
  5. Aged organic Cow manure (3 yards)
  6. Irrigation installation assistance
  7. Entryway Trellis/Arbor (2)
  8. Better lasting fencing for at least the pathway that edges up next to our ADA ramp
  9. Kids gloves (25 for the class)
  10. Kids shovels (10)
  11. Kids trowels, hand tools, diggers (20)
  12. Critter Creepers (bug lookers)
  13. Boot-foot-mat (so the kids can brush off their shoes at the end of the day)
  14. A built in hand-wash station for the garden (nothing fancy- can go into a bucket)
If you can help in any of these areas or would like to get involved please email Rebekah at growingthechange@gmail.com
