Dows Lane students will return to the garden on June 16th to celebrate our end-of-year harvest! Classes will visit the garden to harvest and taste what they've grown together this spring, with support from Alissa Campbell and the 3rd Grade Garden Club, Beyond the Bell Garden Club, and PTSA volunteers. It will be a chance to reflect on the season, enjoy the fruits (and greens!) of our work, and celebrate how much the garden has grown.

If you have an hour or two to volunteer during the harvest celebration, please sign up for a shift using the link below.



Thank you for helping bring this growing season full circle—and for helping our garden continue to thrive!
