Hello Merriam Green Thumbs – The PTO is scheduling garden workdays on the weekend of November 2-3 and/or November 9-10 (depending on volunteer availability).    If you’re interested in lending a hand – please fill out this Garden Volunteer Recruitment form.  We will contact interested volunteers to confirm dates / times.We will be weeding and planting bulbs and perennials, with special attention to the front gardens, K-1 doorway gardens, and rebuilding garden beds on the side of the building for the 2nd and 3rd grade science curriculum. 

If you’re cleaning up gardens at home and have extra bulbs or splits of perennials (hostas, daisies, lilies, etc), we will happily accept donations and plant them in the Merriam gardens.
