Another Success Story From Southampton Elem.

[slideshow id=39]

Southampton Elementary School’s Learning Garden got another boost this week when the Richmond Chapter of Women in Construction held a work day at the school.

The project this week was the construction of a school rain barrel project, and included hands-on learning as the adult volunteers from the construction industry helped students create their own miniature sized rain barrels to take home.

The Learning Garden is a project of the Richmond Audubon Society, Southampton Community Association, and numerous community volunteers. The project has also recently been awarded a major grant from Lowe’s to support the garden. Contact Mary Argenteanu at 320-0138 for volunteer opportunities.
