Saturday, May 17th: we held our first Garden Club Clean-Up Day of 2025! Staff members in attendance: Jenn Eicher, Sherry Hernandez, and Sandy Kovach. We also had a couple family members come out to join the fun! We weeded, mulched, planted flowers, vegetable plants, and cleaned out the greenhouse. The funds from our sub/pizza fundraiser helped supply the mulch and plants. As we continue to raise funds we will be expanding our efforts to get the greenhouse operable and begin planting seedlings for future projects. Look-out for future updates and some upcoming fundraiser and fun opportunities ahead!! Don’t forget today is the last day for T-Shirt orders!! We would also like to take this time to thank those of you who have donated funds for this project!!
