Thank you to Backyard Farmer and Henrico Education Foundation!
We are so excited to get ready for our garden install!
On Friday, September 27th Backyard Farmer will be installing some amazing equipment to get our Active Learning Garden up and running! Laburnum Elementary School is lucky enough to be receiving raised beds, a weather station, trellises, a garden kitchen cart, harvest baskets, and a bicycle powered water pump and rain catchment system! Wow! Please help us thank them by visiting their Kickstarter Campaign. They are working on establishing a 30-acre organic farm 10 minutes outside Richmond for school aged children to visit for field trips.
Over the summer we also received a grant from the generous Henrico Education Foundation that will help supply many features in our Reading Memorial Garden. We are looking forward to a new patio with pergola, seating for students, materials to build a "zen" garden, and a variety of plants to help us explore our senses and Virginia's wildlife.
