HAMDEN -- The Ridge Hill School community, along with several Quinnipiac University students, will install raised garden beds at the school on Carew Road as part of Project Discovery.
Dig-In day will run from 10 a.m. to 12:30  p.m. tomorrow, Saturday April 9. The rain date is April 16.
The Discovery Garden project grew out of a shared vision of the school community and is becoming a reality through the hard work and generosity of many, according to Principal Karen Butler.
The schoolr received a Hamden Education Foundation grant and funds were used to purchase cedar-wood raised garden beds from Vermont. Locally, Sherman Valley Nursery, Agway, Staples, Spring Glen Hardware, Whitson's and Bell's Nursery made significant donations.
The garden will become a hands-on learning opportunity and will enhance the science curriculum, Butler said.
