12th Street Community Garden Project

The school year's 

over for Parkside NIGHT OWLS.

Students................ summer break is here, right?

Yet over @ the

"12th Street Community Garden Project,"

the site has undergone dramatic changes!

Back in March the plot looked like this.......

......while many plants were "started" indoors.

Thanks to Hartz Lawn Care for

coming to help till the soil for the project!

One early task was designing, building,

 and then painting garden boxes.

Now there are flowers in some beds

and vegetables or herbs in the others.

The 12th Street Community Garden location?  

Find them @ the intersection of Twelfth &

Lexington Streets in Lawrenceville, Illinois.

You're invited to come, have fun &

 get involved with the project this summer!

Look for announcements on Facebook @

12th Street Community Garden Project

Call 1-618-943-5326 for

 more details & information or

E-Mail them:

The "spirit" of this endeavor is to grow 

vegetables for The Senior Citizen's Center,

and make pizza for children who get involved.

Is this Farmer Brown and one 
of his faithful helpers, Angela?

Now we all know what our NIGHT OWL

Vista's been doing since the school year

ended earlier in the week, at Parkside.

Great job Mr. Lehman!

From NIGHT OWLS to this garden?
Both are signs you "believe in tomorrow!"

It's a Wrap

Thanks to Erika Reidy for helping 

NIGHT OWLS complete the final evening

 of the after-school with a dramatic reading.  

“I went to sleep with gum in my mouth and now there's gum in my hair and when I got out of bed this morning I tripped on the skateboard and by mistake I dropped my sweater in the sink while the water was running and I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.” 

― Judith Viorst, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Throughout the year, many 

volunteers & mentors have 

made a positive impact

 upon our youngsters!

#ThankYou  

The strength of any community lies

in the dedication of willing hearts & hands.
