We have lift off!
Inver Grove Heights Parks and Recreation | Post a comment
 

It’s been two weeks since our big planting day! Our plants are starting to take shape. We are excited to watch them grow throughout the summer. Our new rain barrel and compost bin will be delivered tomorrow. We loved planting with the Burpee Home Gardens staff. They were amazing and we learned a ton!

Below is a video we took during planting day, and some photos to share. The students put in rows of vegetables and filled the garden. They worked really well together to get the job done! ~ Tracy Petersen, Recreation Superintendent, Inver Grove Heights Parks and Recreation
