Longview

We broke ground on our 19th garden at Mt Solo Middle School!

Posted on by

Generous support from families and businesses have made this day possible: Every elementary and middle school in Longview now has a garden (and we’ll soon be able to say the same of Kelso). Special thanks to Jammie’s Environmental, Inc. and Watkins Tractor & Supply Co. for donating big equipment and skilled operators on Wednesday, and to JH Kelly who will build the shed and some other infrastructure.

Thanks to all who support the work of Lower Columbia School Gardens

Hello folks!

On the mornings of February 8 and 9, we will offer, as we have for many years, our School Garden Volunteer Training. If you are interested in helping out with our local Longview/Kelso school gardens, or are developing a program in your school or community, this class is for you!  These identical classes run from 9:00 to noon – choose Friday 2/8 or Saturday 2/9. This class takes place at Northlake Elementary and is free as always.

 

On those same two days, in the afternoon, we are offering a brand new class: Pruning Workshop – Fruit Trees & Grape Vines. We will do some learning in the classroom and then head out to the orchard to do some hands-on pruning. These identical classes run from 1:00 to 3:00pm – choose Friday 2/8 or Saturday 2/9.

This class takes place at Northlake Elementary and is free of charge.
