Metro Elementary School of Design had two raised beds that had been neglected until Gracie Susik-Lascano decided something needed to be done to revive them.  She got permission from Principal to form a Garden Club.  The PE Coach volunteered to be the club sponsor.  With the support of her mom and dad, they raised the necessary donations to build two additional raised beds, install repurposed tires as flower bed and got three picnic tables.  They contacted the NMG to come see their work and get advise on planting flowers and vegetables.  The NMG have visited twice.  On the second visit each student was given eight (8) tomato plants, a packet of marigold seeds (as companion plants to the tomato plants) and several packets of vegetables seeds to take home plant and care for.
