Construction of the Schoolyard Garden Boxes - September, 2006

Construction of the Garden Boxes. Riley Elementary, Salt Lake City, Utah.
Saturday, September 9, 2006.

Students, Parents, Teachers, Staff and Slow Food Volunteers met Saturday morning, September 9, 2006, bright-and-early to build the garden-boxes that will be the corner-stone of the Schoolyard Garden. The Schoolyard Garden will be a window into gardening for students in grades 1 through 6 at Salt Lakes Riley Elementary School. The project has been received warmly by many at the school, and many students are exited to watch it grow. This project is supported by all who attended the Second Annual "Feast of Five Senses" fundraising dinner that Slow Food Utah organized, and Pine American Restaurant hosted Sunday, May 21, 2006.

Thank you to all who volunteered and contributed. A great beginning, but only a beginning, as there is more to be done.
