Project Descriptions:

Beeks Kindergarten Anniversary Garden (America's Anniversary Garden)
Master Gardeners will be helping with two kindergarten classes at Margaret Beeks Elementary School as they plant red, white, and blue flowers in two small garden plots located under their class windows.  The kids have already planted spring-blooming bulbs and will be adding annuals and perennials that match the color scheme and attract butterflies and birds.  The kids will be watering their garden and keeping track of garden visitors.  The teachers are excited about this project and we're hoping the kids love it as well.
