New Compost Bin Completed

Hayhurst School now has a new compost bin for food scraps and yard debris!  Thanks to a grant from the Jeanne and Dick Roy Fund, the HSGC was able to purchase materials for the system.  Please stop by the bin at the front of the school and admire the construction work of our volunteers: James, Lee, Harry and Emma Hayes, Jeffrey Briley, Chris Wold with Mats, Heather James, and Brian and Adrienne Smith.  

Next week, the project will continue with the construction of a worm bin for the courtyard.

Many thanks to everyone who gave their time on a beautiful Saturday to build the bins!  Special thanks to the Roy Fund for funding our compost project!

Pea Planting Day a Success!

  Our inaugural garden pea planting at Hayhurst was a BIG success. Thanks to all the great students who where involved and beaming with excitement (and experiences too).  Each child had the chance to get a little dirty and plant their own pea in the barrels. Now they get to sit back and watch them all grow! 

  I just wanted to also send a big thanks out to the Garden Council members who helped with the class teaching sessions, created the great pea pod fundraiser/bulletin board, and all of the other tasks that made this happen. Everyone's work is so important.  Also a special thanks to the great Hayhurst teachers who were very interested and appreciative of the gardening program getting up and running.
