Our Garden Labs offer an opportunity for us to strengthen families by sharing information about sustainable gardening and lifestyle practices. Our Labs are FREE of charge and are for ALL ages. With the help of local professionals, Garden Labs are hosted right at our Staunton Garden and include a variety of fun, hands-on workshops! All participants can expect to take home something from the lab to apply to their home gardens/lifestyles! |

2021: SOWING SEEDS: STAUNTON CITY & AUGUSTA COUNTY SCHOOLS
Educating our youth is essential to executing our mission. During our off-season, we focus on community outreach through the local school systems in the form of educational sessions that engage students and inform them of our organization's goals.
