When the PTA first asked me to partner with them on our school garden program, I said the first thing that came into my mind: Running a garden is a LOT of work. And while I still feel that’s true, I’ve found that my partnership with the PTA has led to wonderful results. With the financial and logistical support of the PTA Garden Committee, especially the two parents who volunteer each year as Chairs, I’m able to bring every OPS student to work in the garden at least once a year. That’s a lot of planting! All the beautiful flowers and vegetables there were planted by our students. Recently, we won a facebook contest run by a garden supply company, because our Chairs mobilized the community to get us the most nominations out of all the school gardens in our state. I’m glad to see our garden get recognition, because it’s a wonderful partnership that benefits every one of our students. Thank you Seed Keeper Company for the prizes (garden supplies), thank you to everyone who nominated our garden, and thank you to the PTA and its Garden Committee. - feeling grateful
