Special Thanks to the Apache Corporation
We were very fortunate to have over 20 volunteers from the Apache Corporation working on our gardens this past Saturday. They created 4 new garden beds with the help of A. Ramirez and cleared out all the unwanted weeds with Ms. Harris in our butterfly garden and established several new garden beds. They have also donated over $400 of materials purchased off Amazon as well as $200.00 on Amazon gift cards so that we can continue to meet other needs of our gardens. Thank you to all those that were involved in making our campus gardens a success.
