Post-Event Pictures from Fall Family Day

We were so thankful to get our gardeners together on November 22nd for the Family Fun & Winter WrapUp Event! Students and parents got their hands dirty, while fixing up the school’s front gardens and preparing them for winter. Back in the TFES Food Garden, volunteers prepped the vegetable beds for winter, along with harvesting radishes and kale! Thanks to parent volunteers for staffing the activity table, so the youngsters could enjoy holiday crafts, wildlife feeder/friendship bracelet, and other creative nature-related artwork.

Thanks so much to our community for all your support! With Garden Club leader, Tracy Nyszczot’s spinal injury, our volunteers’ help was crucial in keeping the gardens.

Check out these photos and list of families who helped below!
