A day and night to remember

HFHK welcomed to its annual event on November 16 more than 130 guests, including state political leaders, school board members, teachers/garden coordinators and of course Wyatt, the kid with the big personality. Thanks to our generous donors and supporters we netted more than $50,000. That’s a lot of gardening joy we can bring to school kids across Delaware.

The HFHK Inaugural Garden Coordinator Workshop

Earlier in the day 15 Garden Coordinators (GCs) participated in our first ever workshop. The event was hosted at the FMC facilities in Newark, and their scientists shared their knowledge with the garden coordinators. The lightning talks by the teachers sparked great energy and conversations prompted by the sharing of best practices. According to program manager Jen Cipolla, the opportunity for GCs to connect face to face to share experiences, ideas and problem-solving will go a long way in creating a more cohesive group that can reach out and rely on and support each other going forward.

HFHK relies on the generosity of donors, like you, to keep our program growing! We are so grateful and thank our sponsors, donors, and new friends for being part of the garden movement!
