Help Students Save Monarchs!

Funded Oct 24, 2016

Your generous donation is greatly appreciated and has been put to good use. The students were very excited when they saw the soil, the material to build a couple more raised garden beds, additional garden fabric grow pots for milkweed plants and milkweed seed balls.

For one afternoon, they set up an assembly line and were able to fill all the garden fabric grow pots, both the soil and plants. They were so happy to be able to expand the number of milkweed plants around the campus, thereby increasing the school's ability to support Monarchs.

On another afternoon, they had a great time putting the raised garden beds together, especially with the them being so easily and quickly to assemble, and still having time to add the soil. The students experienced a great sense of accomplishment that day.

Within the next couple of weeks, we will be running the irrigation system to the new raised beds. Once that is done we will be planting more of the milkweed and other flowering plants, so that we can continue to provide for the Monarchs.

Again, our garden club is very grateful for the generous donation and we appreciate the support!”

With gratitude,

Mrs. Cohen
