GARDEN LABS HAVE ENDED FOR THE 2022 SEASON
STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT SEASON'S LAB SCHEDULE!
|
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 will be hosted at our Staunton Garden for 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! Our second season of Labs will begin May 2023. |

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. See photos below from our seed-starting sessions and food demonstrations.
