Students asked that we wait on the garden labels because they wanted to plan out more vegetables next year and companion plants to grow alongside them!\r\n The materials that we have used this year have not gone unnoticed in our scool and community as over 50 students have signed up or shown interest in continuing this project next school year and building upon the foundation that your donations have allowed us to start this year.
