Our Educational Director, Andrea Whelan, and our In-House Gardener, Valarie Coyle will assist the students in all aspects of gardening. The weekly maintenance of the garden will be taken care of by our staff. We do invite students to come and visit the garden as it grows to see what their efforts have produced.
