Families gather to make the garden's soil ready for planting.

Waiting for sprouts...

Students give milk cartons another job as starter pots. Using potting soil provided by the P.T.O., students turn window sills into plant nurseries. The growing has begun.

The Vallenga family gets the earth ready for planting, by donating time and equipment. EBS associates donate top soil and Paul Doty donates his time by delivering to the school. As always, thank you!

Thinking "green"...
