Volunteers Wake Up the School Garden

April 10, 2019

We had a wonderful crew of Belmont Day faculty, students, parents, and friends join to prepare the school garden for the 2019 season. A beautiful day greeted our participants who enjoyed raking, planting, clearing, weeding, and more. Students planted over 80 feet of snap and pod peas, as well as a full bed of greens. Look for an early bounty for sale on community service day—Friday, May 17—where we will be selling these fresh organic greens along with our very own BDS honey. All proceeds will help fund the school garden program. Thank you to all who came to help!
