Editor’s note: the following release was provided by Kimberton Waldorf School

 will host their second annual garden party on Tuesday, August 14 at 8:30am at 410 West Seven Stars Road. This event is just one of the ways Kimberton is reaching out to be a resource to the local community.

The program will include a tour of Kimberton’s 2-acre garden and guests will learn about the Garden-to-Kitchen program and the organic lunch program, Food for Thought. Guests will have the opportunity to share their interest in sustainability and network with others in green business.

The gardening program is one avenue in which Kimberton teaches children about botany and ecology while it fosters an important connection to nature. The garden provides food to the school lunch program, as well. Bees and beekeeping are also an integral component to the gardening program at Kimberton. “Students in 6th through 10th grades learn what is happening in the hive throughout the year,” Caitlin Elberson, spokesperson for the school explained. “The garden is an opportunity for us to hold weekend activities, lectures and workshops for the greater community to learn as well.”

Kimberton Waldorf School was founded in 1941 and is the second oldest Waldorf school in the United States. The school is part of a growing movement of more than 1,000 Waldorf schools worldwide.
