CLUB: Great for kids, community

A big shout out to the Coeur d’Alene Garden Club whose continuous support of the greenhouse and the gardens at Hayden Meadows have been unfailing. I want to thank the club once again for this support. Their donation gives us the supplementary income that allows us to improve and sustain our gardening projects. Thanks to them, all the little hands (and big ones too) at Hayden Meadows get dirty while planting seeds and starts in our greenhouse. Sadly, there are some blisters from pulling weeds in the gardens, but in the end, there are many smiles and smarter children. These projects are but catalysts Meadows’ teachers capitalize on while teaching just about every subject. Math to Writing, Art to Music, and Character Building are all part of this program. Further, children at Meadows are growing and harvesting vegetables for our local food banks.

Hooray to the Coeur d’Alene Garden Club for helping us make the lives of our children and our community a whole lot better!
