Funded Sep 22, 2022The Bancroft garden had a successful fall semester of student engagement and crop production thanks to your generous support in providing the hand tools, large tools and table shade that we needed in our community garden!
Students were elated to see the new hand tools which allowed more student helpers at one time on the planting and weeding days. With the large shovels and sturdy rakes, students prepared the ground and constructed two more raised beds for our vegetables. The squash and green peppers abounded this fall harvest and we spent time at our garden picnic tables, under the new shade umbrellas, preparing the vegetables and herbs to be shared with the greater Bancroft community.
I cannot express what a pleasure it has been for us to watch our garden grow, eat the fruits of our labors, and interact with the birds, bees and lizards that have inhabited our green space.
Thank you for supporting my students by providing the tools and shade space to allow us to continue our adventure....we are planning to expand our garden soon to include two more areas of our campus and are so excited!”
With gratitude,
Mrs. Weber
