Thank you to all the parents and students who supported the Riverside Garden in 2025! Over the course of this fall, 83 parents signed up to volunteer during a garden class (many joining multiple times) and 30 parents and kids helped put the garden to bed for the winter. 25 years since it was founded, the Riverside Garden thrives because of generations of families who continue to offer a hand and teachers and staff who find new ways to enrich the elementary school years with garden-based curricula. 

And with that, we are happy to share some highlights from last week's Garden Day, with a few hints about what we expect to be growing in the spring: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17qSPqKSCfEfAJV8-YCcrQNVaeR8yaR64MR4DwPqP4rc/edit?usp=sharing 

If you are interested in joining the garden and/or green/sustainability teams at Riverside in 2026, or simply joining in on garden work in the spring or fall, contact Inga Reich and Abby Gross.
