It’s not just about the plants out here at Adaptive Gardens of the Low country on Thornhill Farm. Our participants have been hard at work building greenhouse tables! Bill Brabson, our new favorite volunteer, has proven to be an Excellent teacher! All four of our school groups have had the chance to learn and build the greenhouse tables. As they learn and grow, so does our program! We add space for all the seedlings that will grow and sell at our plant sale, so that you can start your spring garden, and each of our students grows as they learn meaningful life skills.

Measuring wood for the work tables
We pack a lot into the time we have with our participants! This week they practiced their measuring skills. They used their fine motor skills to mark the wood and hold the screws in place. They even learned to operate the electric drill! In the end, we ended up with so much more than just a greenhouse table. Our participants learned and practiced some invaluable skills that are transferable to most any job they choose!

If you want to be apart of all this fun, then get out here and join us! Email me at catherine@adaptivegardens.org.

Leslie and I cant wait to see you in the gardens!
