Welcome!

Welcome to Orchard Park Elementary School's gardening blog! Our students have teamed up with local volunteers and planted a garden. Each classroom has a designated plot to mantain. Check the blog to see what others are saying. Feel free to share your comments, concerns, questions and/or suggestions!
