    The Sandy Springs Garden Club was invited to send a few members to help with the planting of a garden at Ison Springs Elementary in October. Carrie Grayson (and husband Hal) represented the club. She was able to connect with the school principal and to learn of gardening needs at the school. We are working to have some joint endeavors with this school in Sandy Springs.
