Garden Party Recap & February Garden Party Reminders

Posted On: Feb 01, 12

Mahalo to teachers, school staff, community volunteers and groups that include Americorps, Bank of Hawaii, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program, Aiea High School Science Club, Lutheran High School, West O’ahu Food Politics Class for coming out to support preparation of the school gardens for the spring ‘AINA In Schools garden lessons.  Highlights included new garden beds and a garden sink built at Waikiki Elementary, new compost bins and a sheet mulch watermelon garden built at Kainalu Elementary. Kaiser Permanente presented KHF board members Kawika Kahiapo and Bryce Sprecher with a check to fund a school garden food safety pilot project and a statewide Farm to School conference this summer.  In February, the Locations Foundation will sponsor the Waikiki Elementary Garden Party’s supplies with a grant which supports local children and families through volunteer efforts and monetary donations.

• Waikiki Elementary, Saturday, February 4, 9:00-11:00 am
