New Scotland Elementary will have hundreds of beautiful flowers surrounding the trees in front of the school come spring, thanks to the Vegetable Project and plenty of student muscle.
On Thursday, students from Jen Pratt’s kindergarten/first grade class, Dawn Abrams’ second grade class, Kristen Clancy’s second/third grade class and Colleen Ryan’s fourth/fifth grade class dug holes and planted daffodil and tulip bulbs in them. Student efforts were guided by Bill Stoneman of the Vegetable Project and a host of other adults.

We love our community partners! Thank you, Vegetable Project and others who helped make Thursday’s planting possible.
