Stop by Natural Beginnings


Natural Beginnings is partnering with us to provide a local garden shop that will carry many of the items we need. Natural Beginnings has long been committed to organic, sustainable and local means of garden and landscaping. Any item purchased here can either then be donated at the school or left here for pick up. They are located close to the new garden at 1603 Trumansburg Rd (Hwy 96 towards Tburg), Ithaca. Thank you so much for being a part of this!

First ground breaking yesterday!

Did you see what happened? The earth literally moved! We have Chaw Chang from Stick and Stone Farm to thank! Chaw and Lucy have been wonderfully supportive with their generosity of material, knowledge and enthusiam. They have 39 of their own acres of organic farm to manage but Chaw took the time yesterday to plow our space before today's rain fell. I can't tell you how many parents I ran into today smiling about the change, the forward movement into Spring and the beginning of a garden......

Is it a good day to help us garden?
