The "New" North Hero School Community Garden

The School Garden is beginning to take shape!  Check out some of the photo's of our work and progress so far.  A BIG THANK YOU to my father, Marty Brooks, for making all of the lumber we needed for the raised beds and spending a few hours driving to and from the school to work with the kids to put it all together.  Come back soon for more photo's and information about how to get involved.  We will need help this summer caring for the garden and making sure we tend to the "fruits of our labor!"

We are incredibly proud of our students for their leadership roles and teamwork thus far throughout the project.  And, this is only the beginning!
