Sharing Our Guilford County School Gardens

OPEN HOUSES AND OPEN SCHOOL GARDENS!

Many schools celebrated their new school gardens at Open Houses days before school began.

Irving Park Elementary

Thursday evening Aug. 22nd this school showcased its newly forming International Community Garden. The structures were made by Eagle Scouts.

The school's garden support team includes their Principal Ms. Mckee, a core group of parent volunteers  and many of the school's teachers. Teachers and parent volunteers attended School Garden Network's garden based learning Workshop at the Edible Schoolyard last spring.

Heather Fullagar and her son Keegan; Heather is one of many parent advocates for the new school garden. The big Open Garden date is October 1st!
