Photo Sharing

A lot happens during School Garden Week, and we want you to share all of
the amazing activities and events that you take part in! What captures your
attention in your school garden? Maybe it’s the insects buzzing around the butterfly
garden, or your veggie garden in full production, or a group of your friends building a compost bin or planting winter cover crops. Whatever it is, please snap a picture of what you or others are doing during School Garden Week, and share it with us.

This year there are two ways you can share your photos: Participate in the Photo Contest, or contribute to the Photo Journal.
