Texas Trust Credit Union staffers got their hands dirty for a good cause.
Some 14 employees volunteered to help maintain the garden at Garcia Elementary School in Grand Prairie, Texas.
The Texas Trust team worked alongside the elementary school's garden club to stain and replace the roof of the pergola, repair and weed flower beds, and fix the rain barrels.
Research has found that gardening provides different forms of engagement for children. Transforming the schoolyard into an outdoor classroom has helped reconnect students with the true source of their food while teaching valuable gardening and agricultural concepts and skills that integrate with subjects ranging from math, science, art, social studies and health and physical education.
