Kimberly Barragar is a childcare director whose annual garden at a childcare center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, provides a valuable opportunity to nurture children, preserve the environment, and reduce costs. Winning 3rd Prize, Kimberly will receive the Urban Raised garden 4’x4’x6” with Veggie Wall ($135.98 value). This kit can be assembled with little effort and placed on a roof top, patio, or deck on any hard surface. The Veggie Wall further increases the crop, and we’ll also be sending along an irrigation system to give this childcare center’s garden a great start this season. Congratulations, Kimberly!
Here is an excerpt from Kimberly’s prize-winning essay:
“As a childcare director I do my best to teach the children how important it is to do our part to
help the environment. Not only do we need to preserve our land, water, and air, we must also take care of ourselves….The children of the world today are the people of our future. I am so honored to be given this opportunity to better our future. Every little bit helps.”
We were so lucky to have such wonderful entries. Tomorrow we’ll announce the 2nd place winner and exerts from their essay. Stay tuned!
