Join us on Love Our Schools Day as we enhance the Park School Garden with a new Zen Space! This project aims to create a calming area where students and staff can relax and find peace. The Zen Space will feature a charming bistro set, perfect for quiet reflection or a peaceful break. Surrounding the seating area, we’ll plant a variety of beautiful flowers to create a serene environment.

As part of this project, participants will also have the opportunity to create custom stepping stones, adding a personal touch to the garden. These stepping stones will guide visitors through the Zen Space, making it a unique and inviting addition to our school grounds.

We invite anyone who would love to partner with us to make this vision come to like. Let’s work together to make our school a more beautiful and tranquil place for all!  We are also soliciting donations for general gardening supplies for our school’s Gardening Club.
