Thank you so much to all of our volunteers who helped us at our Spring Clean Up Event!🪴
A special shoutout goes to Emily and @verdantplace.co for partnering with us on this garden initiative! Emily generously donated a new flower bed along with seedlings for our project. This new flower bed will serve as a wonderful space for our students and adults to enhance their gardening skills throughout the summer!
