The annual Pumpkin Patch event at Amy’s Greenhouse last Saturday was a huge success!
A cheerful and festive crowd came to the Barnard Early Childhood Center to pick the perfect pumpkins, paint them, enjoy pastries, and watch a carving demonstration. On hand to help were Principal Nicolas Cracco, teachers and staff members, volunteer Albert Leonard Middle School students and Barnard PTA members.
Proceeds from the event benefited Amy’s Greenhouse, and visitors enjoyed seeing the memorial displays and plants. The space, which focuses on science education and social emotional learning, enables hundreds of children to participate in horticultural projects and events throughout the school year.
Amy’s Greenhouse is a living memorial to Amy O’Doherty, the 23-year-old daughter of since-retired Barnard teacher Geraldine Davie. O'Doherty worked at Cantor Fitzgerald and was a victim of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Find more photos are here.
