Thank You to all our Lincoln Lions who have participated in our Garden Club sessions this fall. We've spent several lunches since the start of the school year harvesting, planting, and cleaning up our school garden. Most recently we picked radishes and planted bulbs that will flower in the spring. 

Stop by the garden anytime to check out what's in bloom and maybe hunt for some beneficial insects! 

Volunteer Opportunity! We're also looking for all interested adults who would be interested in assisting with the garden in the spring, over the summer, and next fall! 

Reach out to Amanda Turnbull (turnbull.amanda@gmail.com) if you might be interested. No experience necessary!
