Welcome to the MPS Garden
It all began with an inspiration…
In the Fall of 2011…
There was a lot of work to do…
We needed a lot of helping hands…
We worked together!
With help from Mr. Steinman and “Babe” The Big Blue Tractor we cleared
the area in the Springand had a clean slate.
During the year we planned. We received funding from the PTA for materials and
conducted a fundraiser for seeds and plants.
Meet the Co-Chairs of the MPS Garden!
Mrs. Larkin and Mrs. Marsh

In the Fall of 2012 we entered the Chili Cook-Off at the Cruise-in to Waterville!
We made a garden chili recipe.
In the 2012-2013 school year, we conducted a much larger
fundraiser and successfully raised funds to help our garden grow.
Our theme for our garden’s second year was to
