Green Bucks
This year students will be able to earn Green Bucks by exhibiting exceptional behavior during their garden visitations. The Green Bucks are worth $0.50 at the Garden Sale and can’t be replaced. Hang on to them until a Tuesday Garden Sale, and turn them in for an after school snack.
Kellogg Contributions to the Garden
Every year we count on contributions from the community to keep our garden growing. For the past three years Kellogg has supported us by donating soil, amendments, fertilizer, and other ground cover that we use throughout our garden. Each Fall and Spring we’re greeted by an amazing shipment like the one shown below.
If you’d like to support our garden, please get in touch with us via email at tmagarden@https://www.ocorganicgardenblog.com.
