The Garden Classroom needs to be dressed up for spring. Schools are scheduled to start tours early April. Some of our young helpers, in their energetic late winter cleaning, cleaned out our strawberry patch, some of our herbs, and assorted perennials. Thus, along with the annuals that need seeding, and vegetables, we could use some help in rebuilding our butterfly garden, strawberry patch, and herb gardens. We have some good friends building 2 raised bed planters with plastic cover\/cold frames, so that plants can be started before Mother’s Day!<\/p>\n Contact Kathleen Fields at: kfields1922@gmail.com<\/a> \/ (610) 838-2928<\/p>\n Opportunity Link: https:\/\/www.volunteerlv.org\/opportunity\/a0CVI00005GH6wP2AT\/spring-planting-in-the-outdoor-garden-classroom<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Come join the fun at The Salvation Army Foster Care & Adoption Services\u2019 15th Annual Rock N Run 4 Kids \u2013 5K, 5 Mile and Kids Fun Run on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at the beautiful Coca-Cola Park, in Allentown, PA.
