LATEST DONATIONS
Dirt! We have Dirt! Thanks for Roseville
Remodeling and the Williams family for delivering two
yards of dirt. Our blueberries have a home and
they love it.
We also have hand tools from the Morano family.
The kids are excited to have sturdy new tools to explore
their outdoor space.
As an added bonus, we have an Eagle Scout coming out
to the garden to build us an Aquaponics lab at the May
work day!
