Adopt Our Garden for a Week!
West School Flower and Vegetable Gardens Our gardens are planted, fertilized and growing. We are looking for ten students and their families to each adopt the gardens for one week over the summer. Adoption would include weeding and watering from our garden hose for the week... perhaps one or two visits during the selected week would suffice. Please contact Mrs. Berkley, Mrs. Martens or Mr. Rongey with any questions or with a week that you could adopt our garden between June 7 and August 20.
