Spring is in the air and our school is looking for help to support our School Garden!  

As a school, we are fortunate to have six beautiful garden beds that our students help plant, care for, and watch grow each year. This hands-on experience allows them to learn about gardening, food production, and the importance of caring for our environment. It also fosters leadership skills, as students take an active role in planting, weeding, and watering.   

This year, we are excited to introduce six thematic garden beds, each designed to spark curiosity and meaningful conversations. To bring this vision to life, we are kindly seeking seed and bulb donations to support our growing efforts.

We are looking for:    

Pizza Garden  Three Sisters Garden  Pollinator Garden 
Cherry Tomato Basil Oregano Pepper Onion Bulbs  Corn Beans  Squash  Wildflower Seeds   
Root Vegetable Garden  Sensory Garden  Food Bank Donation Garden 
Carrot Beet Rutabaga Celery Root Ginger  Dill Mint Rosemary Lavender Lemon Grass  Starter Potato’s  

Donations can be dropped off at the office OR brought to Mrs. Forand & Mrs. Napier. 

 

We are looking forward to meeting with you! Please see the link below for the Rainbow Creek Conference Manager to log in or register: https://rainbowcreek.schoolsoft.com/login
