Plants and Generosity Are Blooming in the Hancock Gardens

Parole Supervisor Braswell and Agents Hess, Capone, Hall, Rosario, Ortiz and Cauley from the Philadelphia Countywide Office made donations to the Hancock Gardening Club.

The John Hancock Demonstration Elementary School in Philadelphia features a gardening club, and the supplies will help the students learn and do more with their gardens.

The parole staff donated brick edging so the club can finish the Pollinator Garden by the Kindergarten Yard (where the Kindergarteners hold recess). They also donated stakes to help the tomato and pepper plants grow tall, several plants to add to the gardens and tools to help the gardeners plant and care for the school gardens. The students and staff were very appreciative and can't wait to use the supplies in the gardens. Students even wrote thank-you notes to the parole team.
