Movie Night in the Garden


On Thursday night, Longfellow's Learning Garden Committee presented its third annual Movie Night in the Longfellow Garden. Fortunately, the rain stayed away, and the overcast skies actually suited the evening screening. The movie was Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro," about two young sisters who encounter friendly wood spirits in Japan--the story seemed apt for the garden, and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Though the Longfellow kids and parents who attended might not have known it, the potatoes and carrots nearby are about to be ready for harvesting and some of the sunflowers are starting to bloom. Stay tuned for more information about the Maine Harvest Lunch in late September. If you want more information about the Garden, you can come to the first PTO meeting on Thursday, September 12 to find out more.
