Chute Middle School garden photo gallery

The Chute community is very grateful to teachers Kitty Okano and Felicia Przekota for all their work with the gardens. The following pictures were taken in late October, a time when garden plants are in decline before winter. Yet, as you can see, Chute has very attractive locations for plants to thrive and will be all set for next spring. As with all our school gardens, if you like what you see then feel free to volunteer. There's always plenty to do.
