It was definitely a positive experience, and a much needed event to help clean-up the garden, as a precursor for our even bigger project to come, “EnrichLA.”

We weeded, organized, watered, and guided even our little ones in helping clean-up the garden. Stevenson Elementary School is currently partnering up with EnrichLA, and hoping to create a more sustainable future for our Stevenson Garden Pirate Patch!

Our children continue to thrive in our garden, and we are passionate about creating a peaceful, green, and as close to “Mother Earth” space where they can grow and continue to learn.

We are very thankful to alI our hardworking volunteers!!!
