August usually means a break from classes for students, but it’s the time of year when School Gardens are in full swing with summer programs. Summer also provides many opportunities for us to participate in community events around our area and Squirrel Fest is one Longview event not to be missed. All proceeds from Squirrel Fest this year went to Cowlitz County Habitat for Humanity.
School Gardens had a fun set-up in the Kids’ Area at the event this year that included:
– Handing out free garden seeds
– Offering samples of right-out-of-the-oven delicious garden pizza
– Giving visitors a chance to decorate a garden wigwam with hand-drawn pictures of fruits and vegetables
–
