Spring gardening for PMS Cooks+Gardens

Priscilla Hayes led the JW Cooks gardens workday on Saturday, April 18, as concurrent efforts were made at Community Park Elementary School and at Johnson Park Elementary, where a group of Princeton University athlete volunteers assisted.

Among the chores accomplished at JW Cooks edible gardens: Weeding, watering and a start on bamboo trellises for peas.
