WE ARE MOVING!

It is a Bittersweet Announcement that we are Moving and are Recreating the TFES Food Garden (incrementally) this Spring/Summer. Stay tuned for more info – please volunteer to help or donate. We began rebuilding the garden with the help of the Sandy Run Middle School NJHS students, Garden Club Committee members, our lovely principal Ms. Kim and her daughter!

TESTIMONIALS

We have been getting some great feedback from parents. So many kids enjoy eating new foods like Kale and Radishes, which we grew and tasted this year! Such amazing stories of children’s seeds taking off and growing into huge tomato plants, which sometimes even inspired backyard gardens! WE WANT TO HEAR MORE FROM YOU!!!!

DONATE SUPPLIES and Then $ome

Would you like to help us grow? We need supplies for the growing season and do take-home planting activities. To see all the ways you can Give So We Grow, visit the GARDEN GIVING PAGE.

ISO: TEACHERS, UDSD STUDENTS, and COMMITTEE MEMBERS

Although we are sad to our former Garden Club advisors moving on! Although Mr. McLaughlin will go back to UDHS, we hope to continue to work with him and high school students for big projects! Mr. Meyer, always helpful, continues to offer Sandy Run Students an opportunity through an extension project with our garden club! Both allow for intergenerational exchanges between Upper Dublin Students who like to garden in this community.

We are searching for a TFES teacher/staffer advisor to help restart our student program in Spring2023. We are also searching for community volunteers to be Parent Leaders and committee members to organize impactful projects. (CLICK HERE Signup for all) or email us.
