CLMS Community Garden

Donation protected
Hi all! Elyse Wagner here, Shay Klein's mom at CLMS.

We've put this GoFundMe account together so that we can fund the community garden with a few raised beds, specially designed for our kiddos to plant and nurture their own beautiful gardens!

Thank you for your patience while we've been gathering this information together. A huge thank you to LinLee Rohrer for getting some quotes and putting together a list of items we'll need to get the garden off the ground. :)  

Here's How You Can Help:

Time: We are seeking volunteers who are passionate about gardening and education to join our Garden Committee. Your expertise and dedication will be invaluable in designing the garden, planning activities, and guiding the children in their gardening journey. If you have a green thumb or simply a desire to make a difference, we would love to have you on board.
  
Financial Contributions: The creation of a CLMS Garden involves costs for materials, tools, and ongoing maintenance. We kindly request financial contributions from parents and grandparents to help bring this vision to life. Your support, no matter the amount, will directly impact the success of this initiative and enrich the lives of our students. Please see below for a breakdown of costs. 

Resources: If you have access to gardening tools, soil, seeds, or any other resources that would be beneficial for our garden project, we would greatly appreciate your donations. Your generosity will contribute to the growth and sustainability of the garden for years to come.
