Fall Family Garden Day 2014

THANK YOU WHOLE KIDS FOUNDATION for a very special SPE Family Garden Day!

Thanks to a grant from the Whole Kids Foundation supported by Whole Foods, the SPE Children's Garden received new permanent cedar beds and water conserving drip irrigation.  

We had a special Family Garden Day to add soil and compost to our new beds.  

The kids added some beautiful new artwork to our pavers and we planted eight new butterfly attracting plants.

It was a beautiful afternoon in the SPE Children's Garden!  Thank you to all of the kids and families who came to support our award winning garden!

Special Thanks to the parents and families of ANDREA CARDONA for generously running our art shop, MIKE GOREY, ANDREA LEGGIERI, NIRKA BURNS, CHRIS MAHIEU, KELLY FITZGERALD, MICHELLE BROWN, MICHELLE LA LLAVE, ANNABELLE CLEMENT, STEPHANIE BACK, KERRY STEELE, THE JOHANSON FAMILY and COUNTLESS MORE for fearlessly dragging bags of soil and compost, managing small children with rakes and showing kids the value of hard work, one shovel at a time.

Thanks to our wonderful caring community at SPE, we have a beautiful growing and learning space in the heart of our school.

As Always, We Grow The Garden Together!

The New Cedar Beds are HERE!

Our new cedar beds have arrived! The new drip lines are here!  We are getting ready for our Classroom Plantings!

Don't forget to join us at the Fall Family Garden Day on Friday, October 17th from 3 - 5 pm.  We will be celebrating our grant from the Whole Kids Foundation and preparing the beds for the growing season!

BIG THANKS to the time and effort of our wonderful parents at our Fall Work Day:  Nirka Burns, Beth Capedevila, Andrea Cardona, Michelle La Llave and Stephanie Tatum!

Extra special thanks to Carey Carvalho, Kelly Fitzpatrick and Kerry Steele.  They are changing the world, one pair of clippers at a time! These hard working ladies stayed on to prune and prune, and prune..... Look at the beautiful results.
