Julington Creek teacher and past SFFC School Garden Grant winner Joan Deloney on the school garden program:
"My students from last year took home the plants and grew them all summer. I had at least 5 students who put in their own garden at home. It truly was a great experience and I am looking forward to doing it again this year. My 2010-2011 students are just as excited to get started."
