20 YEARS! Master Gardeners were invited to Caze Elementary School recently to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the partnership between the school and SWIMGA.

Over those many years, SWIMGA members created seven stations for the students: the Sensory Area, the Pollinator Lane, the Sunflower Reading Area, the Gazebo, the Staging Area, the Vegetable Garden and the Pergola.

A Junior Master Gardeners After-school Program was developed to teach students about growing vegetables and about pollinators and native plants. A Day Education program educated students about planting bulbs, and they learned how to plant a Three Sister’s garden and how to harvest its produce.
