It might be cold outside, but the AGL students have been hard at work planning for Spring!  We have been building tables for our New Greenhouse with one of our Fantastic Volunteers, Bill Brabson, and planting trays of seeds in anticipation for the Spring Plant Sale.  This year, we will have the Adaptive Gardens plant sale at the Charleston Children’s Museum during their Fam Jam in April! It’s amazing to see how much the students that participate in our programs have improved over the last semester with us! We have students who have really had fun and worked hard to meet their individual goals.

 I had a student the other day who couldn’t verbally tell me how much fun he was having as we harvest lettuces and turned the compost pile, but he let me know in every other way! He even tried to take the shovel out of my hands so he could do it on his own without my support!  As Spring comes, it’s so great to see how everything begins to grow! Our seedlings grow and fill our new greenhouse, and our participants grow and learn new horticultural skills!
