Spring Planting and Garden Events

It has been a beautiful and busy spring at Falmouth School Gardens. We sponsored a plant sale to benefit our garden program, planted flowers and vegetables in the learning garden and started construction on our hoop house. Elementary students have been involved in all of this. The pictures below tell some of this spring story.
