Kendall students have spent the winter months dreaming about their garden, designing garden maps and thinking of the things they want to grow. Now we need your help …
Lend a hand during our Spring Garden Opening Work Party as we install a fence, sheet mulch, and construct garden beds. We’ll also be creating fabulous garden mosaic art with the help of our creative friends at Glacier Creations. All are welcome. Join the fun and help us get this garden ready to grow!
