2024 Cobblestone Community Garden

May 16, 2024

We are excited to announce that the 2024 garden is underway! It was designed last year by Mike Turco (Maria’s dad) and was built by Mike, Paul Gardner and John Snider. Seeds have been started by students and now they are eagerly waiting for sprouts to get big enough to plant in the garden. The garden builders that created the structure last year are working hard to expand the planting area and the Cobblestone staff are helping the students learn more about growing flowers, herbs and vegetables!
