Gardening in Ridgewood Public Schools

Here is an idea I want to see happen.

This is not to say the Ridgewood Public Schools don't teach gardening, only that they might need some help from parents and alumni.

I wonder how the Ridgewood High School Alumni Association (RHSAA) might be able to help this idea along. My earliest memories of gardening include the wild berries which used to grow along the fence at Willard, and the sunflower plants we would grow in the area now used as a playground. Not to mention all the wisdom imparted by teachers such as Gene Ricci. I still refer to the medium which plants are grown in as "soil" and not "dirt." I guess you would have had to been corrected by Mr. Ricci to fully understand. Just one of many gardening lessons I remember well to this day.

More details to come...
