The 3rd graders at Davis Elementary rolled up their sleeves and planted the Davis Giving Garden before the last day of school!
There’s no better way to start the morning than June berry picking! You can find fresh picked berries and other seasonal vegetables at the free farm stands at Storytime Art In the Park or at the Giving Gardens. Find the schedule for Storytime Art in the Park here: https://drakelibrary.org/
The eastern edge of Marvin Garden is now home to hazelnuts! Huge thanks to the great team of volunteers who got them in the ground. These bushes will form a natural fence—and in about four years, they’ll start producing some delicious nuts. Also, shoutout to the volunteers who’ve been showing up each week to care for Marvin Garden. Your consistent support is what keeps this community space thriving. Interested in joining us? We meet every Saturday from 9–11am. Sign up here: dash.pointapp.org/events/353659
