Support

The PS11 Garden Committee would like to extend a warm thank you to the groups listed below and also to the incredible teachers at PS11, the PS11 Principal, Bob Bender, the Parent Coordinator, PS11 Programs. We would also like to acknowledge the generous assistance of the PS11 PTA. The garden would not have been possible without the amazing efforts of the PS11 parent volunteers and of course, the PS11 students.

A special acknowledgement must go out to Lenora Todaro for all her efforts in 2009 to get this garden going and also to Rick Zurita and all the volunteers who worked tirelessly in the Spring of 2009 to design, construct and paint the perky red garden fence.

Financial support and in-kind donations have come from the following groups. Many thanks to those who have helped us in our efforts.
