Many thanks to all BEA and UA students, parents and teachers who came out this past school year to help us maintain the school garden. Without you, it wouldn't be the great place that it is.

Before After
Students and parents were painting hydroponic stackers on our November workday tp give them a facelift and help preserve the styrofoam from weathering.
Families volunteer their time to helping maintain our garden and keep it growing. Last year we weighed some of the harvested lettuce, carrots, strawberries, blueberries and peppers at 361 lbs.! Our participating families shared in the harvest and we were able to donate produce to Meals on Wheels and families
