Major thanks to @RVAToolBank for these picnic tables! These will be a very welcome and much needed addition to Reid Elementary's outdoor classroom! Special thanks to Amanda from @CISofRVA for coordinating this!

Huge thanks to our supporters who helped us rent a skid steer, transport it (thanks @rvaparksandrec!), and borrow a dumpster so we could clear a ton of old debris at G.H. Reid Elementary School! The renovation of Reid's garden is moving forward! #schoolgarden #rvaschools

Thinking back to when we put this circular #schoolgarden together at Obama Elementary School. With limited space, we thought the shape fostered togetherness - making it a great place for students to gather. It also inspired us to be a little more creative. Shake things up!

Huge thanks to @rvaparksandrec for donating these two picnic tables to G.H. Reid Elementary School. For the longest time there was no seating around the garden, so this is a game changer. It didn't take long for the kids to make good use of them!

Future Chefs of America! Students at @overby_sheppard used some of the veggies they've been growing to make an amazing salad! @principal_klg

The students at Overby-Sheppard Elementary School love getting their hands dirty in the garden! Over the last couple of weeks they've watered, weeded, and planted new veggies like broccoli and peppers!

[Renew Richmond @RenewRichmond]

What a difference a day makes! A hearty THANK YOU to the Sabra volunteers and amazing students who came together earlier this week to renovate the garden at George Wythe High School. Along with cleaning, adding... https://t.co/2Wnx7hjeVz
