Biosphere 2 TEEN Adventure!

Thank you to Alexander, George, Marcus, Patrick, Katie, Julia, Eric, Kenzie, Mariah, Angela, and Matthew for a great trip to Biosphere 2.  It was a lot of fun to see you experience the different biospheres and learn about the current research being conducted there.

Thank you to Kaela, Andrea, Matthew, Izador, Marcus, & Alexander for tending the Pumpkin Patch Garden last Sunday morning.  It was warm, there was a dead snake, and lots of weeds but you ladies and guys made it fun!

How many TEENs does it take to fill a trash bag?

DBG Community Garden
