GRATITUDE: Donated plants brighten Fairmount Park Elementary courtyard

The photo and report are from Fairmount Park Elementary principal Julie Breidenbach:

Fairmount Park Elementary School would like to thank Jay Potratz and West Seattle Rite Aid for the donation of fall plants that helped to beautify our indoor courtyard. Parent volunteers did the planting today and students commented how these beautiful fall plants that brought some much-needed color to our courtyard. The decorative cabbage plants were a huge hit with the younger students who wanted to know how those plants tasted in comparison to the cabbage they purchase in grocery stores.

Love it! Thank you, Jay and West Seattle Rite Aid. It’s great when kids can appreciate plants and all the beauty and colors of nature. When I moved here from the East Coast in the 1980s, I was surprised and amused to see food plants used decoratively in gardens. Now I’ve come to appreciate this Northwestern quirk!
