Shop Local to support Sloat and your Children's Garden - Nov. 7-16
Attention all Mill Valley Children's Garden supporters:
Sloat Garden Center is sponsoring Growing Up Green Week, November 7 through 16,
2008. During this time, if you bring in our Edna flyerEdna Maguire School Growing up Green week.pdf, a percentage of your purchases will be donated to the Children's Garden
by Sloat. The higher our participation, the greater the benefit we will
receive. So if you were thinking about fall plantings (good time to plant
trees now that the rain is beginning) or purchasing some garden tools or
furniture, shop at Sloat between November 7 and 16, 2008 and be sure to present
them with our Edna Flyer. Thanks for supporting the garden.

Located in Mill Valley, California, at Edna Maguire Public Elementary School, the Mill Valley Children's Garden is a 1/3 acre outdoor classroom laboratory. The garden is a hands-on treasure for both curriculum-based teaching and exploratory creative experimentation - it is a "textbook come to life." Through the Children's Garden, children learn botany, ecology, math, science, language arts, creative arts, stewardship of the land, community service, and much more.
The Children's Garden is a grassroots, volunteer effort by the parents, faculty and community of Mill Valley. The garden operates through private funds and donations and is supported by the Edna Maguire PTA - a 501 3 (c).
Are you a parent of an Edna Maguire student interested in volunteering to help with the Mill Valley Children's Garden? Click here for more information, or contact Saor Stetler. Green thumbs are not required - all that is needed is a desire to have fun with the children in the garden while observing the cycles of nature.
