Dozens of students, teachers and parents gathered to build raised beds, mix soil, start compost piles, clear weeds, and jump start a great school garden. Carol Brenan, the new garden coordinator, headed up the effort with Marjorie Drucker and the whole Barnard School garden Committee. It was a beautiful day with an energize community getting their hands in the dirt!
