A big THANK YOU to all the volunteers that joined us welcoming the Gardeneers and getting our Edible Garden ready for the season. The Gardeneers were on hand to help, as were a slew of parents, students, administrators, teachers, staff and community members. Evanston Community TV was conducting interviews. We are all excited to see what tasty treats our garden (now with newly installed art work throughout) will grow, and all that we can learn from it.
Many thanks to our local business sponsors for helping us to bring the Gardeneers to Oakton! If you or your business like to be a sponsor and have your name or logo displayed on our sponsor banner please email Alicia Aiken – Chair of Garden & Grounds Committee – at alicia.l.aiken at gmail dot com or give her a call at 224-520-2701
