From the Green Dean

Dear Faculty, Staff, Parents and Caregivers,

If you are in need of a mental break away from screens, or outside the indoors, feel free to go out to the community garden for relief. 

Don't hesitate to pull weeds (in the raised bed boxes), explore what's out there, or just sit in silence on the bench under the sunflowers. 

If you want to get more involved in helping with the gardens just let me know. 

Research on health benefits of gardening;

See you outside,
