Members of the Hopkins School Principal’s Cabinet will begin planting in the school’s new community garden, the Hawk’s Nest on Wednesday, May 15 from 9:30 until 10:30 as part of a statewide public planting day, “Don’t Just Stand There…Plant Something. The students will work in partnership with Weston Nurseries, who has donated perennials.
The statewide plating campaign is an initiative of Plant Something MA, a joint program of the Massachusetts Flower Growers Association (MFGA) and the Massachusetts Nursery and Landscape Association (MNLA). Plant Something MA seeks to get more people to enjoy gardening and support their local, independent nurseries, garden centers, landscapers and growers. For more information, visit the Plant Something website.
The Hopkins Garden Project is a hands-on, integrated learning concept started this year. Hopkins families completed the garden’s first phase at a work day on April 27 by leveling ground, building installing and filling raised beds, and spreading mulch. Photos and more information about the garden are available at here.
