There were\u00a0even-happier-than-usual\u00a0<\/em>kids\u00a0in many Kelso and Longview School Gardens last week as After School Garden Clubs had the opportunity to carve locally-grown pumpkins. 700(!) pumpkins were donated by Woodland farmer Randy Behrendsen who was happy just to know they were going home with kids. Members of the LCSG board, LCSG staff and a slew of volunteers met in Woodland early on a Saturday to load pumpkins into trucks and deliver them back to school gardens in Longview and Kelso.<\/p>\n

During the following week, kids in elementary and middle school gardens throughout the area got the chance\u00a0to carve, decorate and take home their donated pumpkins.\u00a0Students also enjoyed freshly roasted pumpkins seeds and made-from-scratch hot cocoa with their pumpkin carving.<\/p>\n
