Sabin and ACCESS parents and kids had fun working hard on August 5 to do a summer cleanup of the area surrounding the Edible Garden.  While we were at it we noticed a lot of wonderful things in the Garden.  Click here to have a look.

Native Garden enhancements begin

You may have seen a bright orange construction wrap around the perimeter of the Native Garden recently.  It is the first step visible step in a processes which will include amending the soil, improving walkways, swale redesign and new plantings.  These enhancements are paid for through a grant from the East Multnomah Soil and Water Conservation District, spearheaded by Sabin/ACCESS parent Heather Kent. The wrap will come down in the late fall, and the educational component of the grant will begin. Sabin students will then get into studying watersheds and native habitats in a big way, with field trips and right here at home in the enhanced Native Garden.
