I hope your Green Thumb event went well. I've been getting things ready at Child's Play Learning Center,in Pickerington to proceed with the expansion of the outdoor learning environment. Recently ordered from Franklin's Tree & Fish Sale: 55 gallon rain barrel (great buy) and plant kit for their new rain garden- I'm so excited. Local farmers scheduled to plow and fertilize (donated cow manure) to put in the new garden area-children requested a larger garden to grow sweet corn-so they can donate to homeless shelter and a pumpkin patch for Fall Sell to raise money for next years planting needs. I would love for you to see the program -call me 614-374-9113 Barbara Hey Amy- it’s finally spring. I hope your Green Thumb event went well.
