The Plant Patch is a 50’ x 100’ vegetable and flower garden, located on the Northville Elementary School property. Our students visit The Plant Patch in both the fall and spring. The Plant Patch is an outdoor classroom for the school and an enrichment opportunity for students who come multiple times throughout the fall and spring with their classes to participate in volunteer-led programs focusing on nature and the science of growing food. We are always looking for volunteers. Green thumb or no green thumb … come on by! For questions about the Patch or to volunteer, contact Claire Runyan at [email protected] with Plant Patch in the subject.
