Garden Construction

The FES Garden Construction is underway! On Friday, May 17 Falmouth Public Works removed sod, graded the slope area and installed the boulder wall. The following day a group of staff, spouses and parents added raised beds, a terraced sensory garden area, a stone pathway and a pergola/bench.

Pennies for Plants - A Success Story

Thanks to the generosity of the students, parents and staff of Falmouth Elementary School we raised $2,950.50.  This money will build a beautiful garden for all of us to enjoy for years.  Check out the pictures of the fundraiser fun below. 

Keep watching principal's notes for updated garden information.

THANK YOU FALMOUTH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!
