About two dozen students, teachers, parents and community members built more garden space Saturday to enhance learning.
Students from Holden Elementary School can get salsa and responsibility skills from the same source — the ground. It's been like that for about three years, and with the help of about two dozen volunteers the opportunities for cauliflower, onions and botany lessons have expanded. A group of students, parents, teachers and others from the community gathered Saturday morning for a Garden Building Day to expand the Holden Garden enough so that each grade has a space of their own.
