Next week is Giving Tree Week at Edna Maguire Elementary!

All are welcome to come plant an apple tree (and garden clean up, too!) on Saturday, January 19 between 9:00 a.m. and noon. We look forward to sharing this special landmark day with the community!

We are gathering to celebrate the one year "rebirth" in the Mill Valley Children's Garden by replanting one dozen heirloom apple tree whips. All trees are "giving trees," particularly the very special apple trees in our garden, which through the years have yielded thousands of pieces of fruit for our children. They provide shelter from the sun and sanctuary for the birds. Planting a tree with a child and watching it grow over the years is a memory we should all cherish. We have that wonderful opportunity again here at Edna Maguire. It happened for the first time in 1998, when the original apple orchard was planted. Today, many parents still visit and recall their memories of that day. Come and make your own memories!
