Celebrations:
A PHENOMENAL season in the HMS School Garden!  This is my third year teaching at HMS, and of the years I've been here this is the one the garden has received the most love and flourished the most!  I cannot even begin to put into words how much joy and care the garden has generated, or count how many students, staff, and community members have benefitted from it.  THANK YOU thank you, thank you to every volunteer and pollinator and plant!

With bushels of gratitude,
Maisie
