AINA In Schools Garden Party Report

Posted On: Sep 10, 09

A big mahalo to school families and staff, and community volunteers who contributed many hours of sweat equity hauling mulch, amending soil and harvesting our summer soil cover crop to prepare the ‘AINA In Schools gardens for hands on learning! Highlights included Ala Wai, Waikiki and Wai’alae Elementary schools, adding more garden beds to their campuses, and special guest Congresswoman Maize Hirono working alongside families at Aikahi Elementary’s Garden Party, and Representative Scott Nishimoto attending his 3rd ‘AINA IS garden party in his district at Ala Wai Elementary School, both are very supportive of farm to school programs in Hawai’i.  We appreciate these groups that volunteered at our August Garden Parties: Iolani high school students, MOA, and Hands in Helping Out.
