Construction of raised bed began in the Children's Garden during the month of May. Many hands helped to get the project underway. Several of Mr. Lamm's Shop students applied measuring, cutting, and problem solving skills they acquired throughout the school year. Their expertise and talent was greatly appreciated. | |
Students worked under the guidance of garden layout and construction supervisors: Mr. Mark Bolthouse and Mrs. Kim Lagerquist | |
