Help bring the Third Street Garden back to life 🌱 Your gift supports our rebuild of several planters to restore the beautiful green space where TNS and STAR Academy students dig, plant, grow, observe, and learn together—right outside their classroom doors. Every donation helps our 400 three-year-olds to fifth graders grow as curious, caring neighbors in the heart of the East Village. 🌷 Our red cedar planters, built in 2016–2017, make up 75% of the garden's growing space and are rapidly decaying. One third are badly damaged and more could collapse this year. Grants can't move fast enough for our current students, so we're asking our community for donated wood and building materials. Each 3'x3' garden box will cost about $775 in materials to rebuild. All labor will be donated by the Third Street Garden community!  Our most immediate need is for 8-10 planters to be constructed on our work day scheduled for November 7, for which our goal is to raise $10,000.  To rebuild our full garden (25 planters), the estimated materials cost will be approximately $19,000. Donors of materials and services for this campaign will be thanked with a small acknowledgment plaque in the garden. All financial donations to the TNS PTA for this project are tax deductible, as we are a 501(c)(3) organization.   Donations of all amounts are deeply appreciated.
