Garden Family Work Day

There are four garden work days during the school year, most are held on Sundays from 10 AM to 1 PM, with many jobs for all ages and energy levels. These work days are a great way to get your hands dirty, flex your muscles, and experience the garden alongside your Edna student(s). Look for announcements about scheduled work days in the weekly PTA newsletter. Bring the whole family!

Remember, our garden grows and thrives because of you!
