Liberty Code & Canvas was a perfect blend of innovation, creativity, and patriotic spirit!

Campers spent the day exploring the exciting world of coding, sharpening their problem-solving skills and bringing ideas to life through technology. Then, they picked up their paintbrushes to create stunning canvases featuring the American flag and vibrant poppies—beautiful symbols of freedom, remembrance, and hope.

A day full of coding, creativity, and red, white, and blue memories we'll never forget! ❤️🤍💙

Happy National Garden Week! It's the perfect time to dig into the joy of gardening, celebrate green spaces, and recognize the gardeners who help our communities bloom!

Did you know applying a mulch around landscape plantings and garden areas can help conserve soil moisture. Mulching reduces the rate of evaporation from the soil surface and also limits w**d competition.
