The Upward Elementary Garden Club is officially back in action!

Our amazing student gardeners kicked off the new school year by getting their hands dirty and accomplishing so much in the garden these past few weeks. Here is what they have been up to:
-Gathering the last of our delicious summer fruits and vegetables. 🍅 🫑 🥔
-Clearing out the old growth and prepping our raised beds for some exciting fall planting. 🥦 🥬 🫜
-Getting our beautiful flower beds tucked in and ready to survive the winter months. 🌸🌻 🌼

We are so proud of these hardworking students for taking care of our school environment. Stay tuned to watch our garden grow all year long!
