We had a blast building garden boxes last weekend! ✨

Last Saturday, Green Explorers Club partnered with Blue Star Families Outdoor Explorers For All for a hands-on Garden Workshop at Felicita Park. Families built their own wooden garden boxes, learned the square foot gardening method, and planted seedlings to grow and observe all summer long. 💪🌱💦

It was an absolute delight to spend a few hours with these amazing military families, and we can’t wait for our next adventure together!
