New Irrigation in the Garden

Thank you Growe Foundation for providing materials for the new drip-line irrigation system for the garden. Thank you also to Laura Ruby from Growe and our amazing parent volunteers for putting in their time, know-how and muscles as well. It's exciting to get the raised beds and irrigation into place in time for our plantings which will take place over the next couple of weeks. We're all excited to watch the garden grow.
