The water for irrigation and the sink by the shed will be turned off shortly after Oct 29th.  The bathrooms will remain open until late November unless there is freezing weather forecast before then.

All the timers and filters have been removed and put into storage in the shed.  I left locks on boxes that still had hoses in them.  I will be removing the rest of the locks on Tuesday so please get your hoses!

The water will be turned off in the garden after WSU turns off the water, date unknown.

Thank You to Our Wonderful Gardeners

We are incredibly grateful to all the dedicated gardeners who helped bring the children's garden to life. Your hard work, time, and care have made this space a joy for the children and a true testament to the power of community. We needed your help, and you were there every step of the way.

The children thank you, and so do we!

With heartfelt appreciation, Sue, Glee, Deborah and Diane.
