Garden for Every School Spotlight
Steins Pillar Elementary School in Prineville reports that because of their grant: “We were able to add 12 ‘raised beds’ made of water troughs to our campus. The outdoor learning center of our dreams is coming to fruition. We now have shade sails to cover our garden benches, a small storage shed and garden tools for children to access for planting. We also added row covers to our beds to extend the growing season, a durable hose for watering, durable plant markers and an insulated worm bin full of red wiggler worms!”
