We welcomed two classes from the East Village Community School this month. First and second graders learned about the garden and all of its elements!

Susie writes: I'm planning to take my son's pre-K class from the East Village
Community School to the garden tomorrow to release some butterflys
that they have hatched in the classroom.We will be there (weather permitting)
between around 9 & 10am, and will stay for around 1 hour. There are 12 kids
and at least 3 adults. I will be with the group, and will make sure that they
respect the garden plots.

Lesa writes: I've noticed that Dory has been bringing her class regularly to the
garden. The comments that her students have logged into our guestbook each time
they've come are thoroughly enjoyable. I would encourage all visitors.....particularly
young ones from schools and daycares to do the same. It's a good record of how our
garden is used and shows how valuable it is.

Plans are still on for the construction of the kids' playhouse in the northeast
