The school garden at Walnut Elementary Education Center will receive some much needed upgrades after the elementary campus was selected as one of 44 schools throughout California for “Dig It,” a school garden program made available through Tractor Supply Company. This was the first year Walnut applied for Tractor Supply Company’s program, according to fourth grade teacher Marianne Vander Veen, who said that the school garden is in need of gloves and shovels for students, as well as an upgraded watering system. “We have to water by hand,” said Vander Veen.
