Takshanuk Watershed Council’s Marvin Garden project is all wrapped up for the season. We had over 300 students visit the garden this year. Students helped plant in the spring and they participated in gardening camp and cared for the veggies over the summer. This fall we had every class K-6th help harvest and veggies were served to students during their lunch at the Haines School. This grant-funded project would not be possible without community support. A huge thank you to Chad Bieberich for donating lumber to rebuild six new raised beds at the garden! This generous donation allowed us to replace raised beds that had completely decomposed. Thank you to all the community members who have volunteered to help with planting and harvesting field trips. Thank you Natalie Dawson, Joanie Wagner, Madeline Perreard, and Helen Powell! And thank you Kelleen Adams for supporting art in the garden.
