NC Beautiful Grant
We received a NC Beautiful Grant this year in which we incorporated a garden to help teach many different instructional concepts and life skills. This project was not only possible through NC Beautiful but the garden boxes where donated and built by a local sawmill (Mr. and Mrs. Price). The compost planting material was also donated by Roanoke Tar Cotton Gin.
