Lowe's Heroes Project at Parkway

11/1/2018

​On Friday, October 25th, we hosted a Lowe's Heroes Project workday at Parkway School. Lowe's employees volunteered their time to help with a variety of different garden projects. Working alongside them were several Watauga County Master Gardeners, a couple ASU students, an AmeriCorps Vista Service Member from Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture, and several Cub Scouts/Parkway students and their Scout leaders. It was a great day of community collaboration in our Lettuce Learn gardens.

We'd like to give a huge THANK YOU to Lowe's for the time and materials they donated to our school!
Some of the materials donated include:
  • Fence rails to repair broken ones in Parkway Ecology Project area and along driveway
  • Soil and compost for garden beds
  • Cattle panels and rebar to construct trellises in the gardens
  • Lumber for constructing a garden bed in the preschool playground
  • FRP panels, 2 storm doors, 1 exterior door, pavers and a gutter to complete the renovation of the SunCatcher greenhouse
  • Gravel and landscape timbers to complete the nature trail
  • Mulch to use in the gardens and around trees in the median
  • Pansies and seeds to plant
  • Potting Soil to use in the greenhouse

Scroll through the photos below to see what all we accomplished!
