Garden Adventures are activities for teachers to participate with the help of additional garden staff and volunteers.  Some activities require more volunteer support and organization than is normally available during regularly scheduled garden time. 

 

Granny's Garden Adventure in the Potato Patch kicks off the school year with the harvesting and tasting of potatoes from the class gardens.
