🌱📚 CALLING ALL GARDENERS & FARMERS! 📚🌱
The Garden Club at Travis Middle School is looking for donations of Farmers’ Almanacs — new or used! 🌻🌽
Our student gardeners are learning how to grow their own vegetables, care for plants, and understand the world of gardening. Farmers’ Almanacs would be a wonderful resource to help our students learn about planting seasons, weather, gardening tips, and so much more!
🌿 Have an old Almanac sitting on a shelf? We would love to give it a new purpose!
📚 New or used copies are welcome!
🌱 Every donation helps our young gardeners grow their knowledge.
🖤💛 Help us grow something wonderful at TMS!
