Our Gardener and Friend Vince has been the school’s gardener for many years. He helps the students get experience in learning how to plant and garden. He teaches us how to get the soil ready to plant, then plants and grow our own vegetables. We harvest the garden vegetables we grow and also use the food in our school lunches. We have plants that we grow and sell at our yearly plant fair. We have a big assortment of plants and vegetables. Our school is very lucky to have Vince as our gardener. If we didn’t have Vince at our school, there would be no garden. Vince has dedicated his me and effort to help us for many years. He comes 7 days a week, rain or shine, almost 365 days a year. There are no words we can say to express how thankful we are for his commitment and devo on to us. We love our Vince! Wri en by Judy A.
