Volunteers Work on Wayne Elementary School Bird Gardens

On Sunday, September 15, a group from Radnor Bird Town and Wayne Elementary School spread 5 to 7 yards of Radnor Township compost in the two Bird Gardens at the school.

Radnor Bird Town is working with the elementary schools to maintain and improve the Bird Gardens at each school, with emphasis on using mostly native plants in the gardens. The gardens were originally installed with the help of Audubon PA, The Radnor Education Foundation and The Radnor Conservancy.

The compost was delivered by Radnor Township to each of the schools.

Radnor's other elementary schools will also be taking part. Radnor's second grade teacher, Marie Bare, her classes and parent volunteers will be spreading the compost there. Ithan has scheduled a volunteer day for Green Apple Day of Service, September 28, to spread the compost and do other maintenance in their garden. Radnor Bird Town will be at that event to lend a hand.
