Featured Sponsorships for 2023:
CULTIVATING COMMUNITIES
Since 1999, students from the Waldo Burton Memorial School have participated in Longue Vue’s Cultivating Communities outreach initiative. Cultivating Communities develops skills in gardening, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy. Through this year-long program, students learn about growing vegetables and herbs, marketing and selling produce at farmers markets, cooking and culinary careers, and local nonprofit organizations. The program culminates in a presentation of a check to a nonprofit selected by the students.
Contact Amy Graham, Director of Gardens at (504) 293-4718 to find out more or to designate a donation to this important program.
