Tuesday, June 10, the volunteer gardeners of Pfingst Animal Acres welcomed the 2/3 grade class of Ms. Pettiross from Lake Forest Park Elementary School in Lake Forest Park.

Everyone met for a picnic lunch. Master Gardener Carolyn Barden was there with another group but came over to read the class a story.

Lake Forest Park Mayor Goss talked to them about the history of the park and walked them to the viewing platform.

Then back to the garden where Master Gardener Marty Byrne and park volunteer / Rotarian Janet Norem helped them plant squash, pumpkins and scarlet runner beans.

Linda Holman reports that they all had a great time and the volunteers were delighted to share this experience with them.
