School Garden Off and Growing!

Jul 27, 2015

During my recent visit to the Children's Corner preschool in Firebaugh I received a surprise!!!  They were working on their new garden! According to Christy Trujillo, they received funding through a garden grant from Fresno City College.  They were one of the five sites chosen.  I am so proud of them!

 

"It has been a great experience for the children and teachers", says Christy.

The children and teachers are growing pumpkins, watermelons, strawberries, carrots, sweet peppers and tomatoes.    Soon Children's Corner students will be tasting fresh and delicious vegetables and fruits.
