Feel free to bring a snack and water bottle.
Activities may include clean-up, planting, harvesting, watering, weeding, clipping, mowing, digging and enjoying our natural world. Bring a sketch pad/pencils or a camera if you like!

Parents work together each Friday morning from 9:00 - 10:30ish to maintain the garden throughout the year. "Meetings" are informal - but we do use this time to make plans for the garden season and future programming for our students and families. Gloves and tools are available. These sessions are cancelled in the event of rain or cold temperatures (below 40 degrees.) If they are cancelled for any other reason, I will post on www.ps102.org as early as possible. Hope to see you soon!
We meet throughout the year - though our sessions are more brief in the winter months. In the winter we host a Winter Solstice Celebration from 10-2 and we raise money at the PTA Valentine's Day Sale in February - donations of garden/plant/nature/love themed items to sell at our table are appreciated.
If you are not getting emails about the garden and would like to -- please ask me to add you to the list: melliotsheri@schools.nyc.gov.
