Events and Programs
Programs
Ongoing programs run throughout the year, led by our dedicated committee chairs and volunteers.
The Beechwood Garden is a hands-on outdoor learning space where students get to plant, tend, and harvest right on school grounds. Thanks to the dedication of parent volunteers, it has grown into a favorite spot for kids to connect with nature, learn where their food comes from, and see the results of their work bloom throughout the year.
Garden Committee: Emily Gonzalez, Lauren Delzotti, Michaela Whelan-Spinola
A Deerfield Garden program is in the works! Details on volunteers, planting, and how to get involved will be posted here soon.
