AHS Garden Restoration Update and Work Parties
We are gearing up to put the finishing touches on the “meditation” garden outside of rooms 508/509. On Sunday Mar 26, from 8am – 12pm, we will be planting and can use your help!! If you can come, please take a moment to fill out this form (so we know you’re coming).
The garden restoration we are doing would not be possible without grants from the AHS Parents Club and the Lafayette Community Garden Club and the help of all of our volunteers! Stay tuned for more information about spring planting in the farm.

News from the Garden Club and the Next Garden Work Date
We are making a lot of progress on the garden spaces at AHS! We planted winter veggies in the “farm” (garden space across from 503/4) before winter break and have the bender board and redwood framing in for hardscaping in the “meditation garden” (garden space across from 507). We are planning our next work day on Sunday, Feb 5 from 8am-12pm (weather permitting) to install the last of the hardscaping for the “meditation garden.” If you can come and help, please sign up here (so we know you are coming).
After that and after irrigation is installed, we will be ready for the plants! (Our goal is to have low water, native, pollinator plants in the meditation garden.) We have also started seeds for spring time tomatoes and peppers with more (squash, cucumbers, etc) to start in a few weeks.
Please check out our donation wish list for anything you may have that you don’t need.
Thanks again for all the support! Any questions, etc – please email Ms. Tewksbury.

AHS Garden Restoration Update
Work is well underway to restore the AHS Garden. Many thanks to the students, staff and community members who have come out to help or donated cardboard, seeds and more to the effort. We have updated the wish list in case anyone has extra winter crop seeds or bulbs on the list you want to donate.
If you haven’t had a chance, take a look at the farm – it is a completely different place with the mulch (and no cardboard showing).
