Buckfield Junior and Senior High School

The 21st century Grant funds are mostly depleted so the School needs funds to keep the Garden alive and sustainable. I would like to see some high tunnel hoop houses installed to extend the growing season. I would like to see an early summer harvest dinner. This year Buckfield is hosting Maine School Garden day in April and I would love to get some shirts printed up so the Community can show their support for the Garden in the larger world. Finally I would like to boost the seed they have.
