Things to Do

February 27 Celebration of Hope In 2008 with the establishment of the Rosa Parks Elementary Global Garden the students had begun planting their gardens for the very first time. They had so many hopes not only for the seeds they planted, but also for the potential of the garden to impact their school community and beyond.

The students wanted to share their hopes with everyone and invite others to join in so they created the first Global Gardens Celebration of Hope. The tradition has become that each spring the students host a Celebration of Hope at one of the Global Gardens sites to welcome spring and share our hopes with one another. Participants are invited to write their hopes down on hope flags and then the hope flags are strung up in the garden for all to see.

2:00 PM until 4:00 PM Eugene Field Global Garden 2232 S.
