The garden has been a big part of my life and always will be. Thank you for all that you've done for me and our community. I've learned so much from being a part of the garden club and can't thank you enough for that : )
Cooking Camps
Our Summer Day Camp program is a fun way to “Sprout the Chef” within each participant with day camp sessions running from 9 am to 3 pm Mondays to Fridays throughout the summer months of July and August.

After School Programs
School gardens become more sustainable when paired with a harvesting, tasting and cooking class. Students who experience the ability to plant, grow, care for and then harvest and eat veggies from a school garden are more likely to adjust their eating habits and become healthy kids.
