Vogel’s Growing Gratitude: Vego Garden’s Remarkable Contribution to Our Farm-to-Table Mission
Discover how Vego Garden’s generous support transformed Vogel’s mission, enhancing the education, sustainability, and well-being of children through new raised beds.
Safety is paramount in our outdoor classroom, and the rounded corners and rubber edging on top of these beds provide a secure environment for children’s play. Furthermore, the thoughtful design, including rounded interior bolt nuts, eliminates any risk of scrapes during planting activities.
Two of the new beds have replaced aging wooden ones that were showing signs of wear. The durability of the Vego Garden beds ensures they will serve our mission for years to come, without the concern of chemical contamination due to their food-grade paint finish. This aligns perfectly with our organic gardening practices.
We also appreciate the modular nature of these beds, as they allowed us to seamlessly replace the old wooden beds without disturbing the existing soil and plants. This has been a significant time and labor-saving feature, especially given the recovery of our plants after a challenging period of extreme heat.
Our children have been actively involved in the process, from planting carrots and lettuce using a modified hügelkultur technique to checking on the growth of basil, peppers, and cucumbers in one of the replacement beds. In the coming weeks, they will contribute to planting native pollinator plants in the other replacement bed, enriching our outdoor classroom and therapeutic gardens.
Ultimately, these Vego Garden beds are not just additions to our educational environment; they are catalysts for our Nature Explore-certified outdoor classroom and therapeutic gardens.* These spaces are instrumental in enhancing our children’s social and motor skills, fostering creativity, reducing stress, and instilling empathy. Additionally, they serve as vital tools for teaching our children about the natural world and the intricate process of food cultivation.
We are profoundly thankful to Vego Garden for their unwavering support, which empowers Vogel to cultivate both healthy plants and healthy children. Together, we are sowing the seeds of knowledge, sustainability, and well-being in our community.
*Our Nature Explore-certified outdoor classroom and our therapeutic gardens give children regular time in nature. It improves social and motor skills, supports creativity, reduces stress, and teaches empathy.
