0918tadmore3 — Volunteer Jim McQuillen hauls mulch Thursday morning into the newly renovated garden at Tadmore Elementary. The garden has been paid for by a grant and donations from local businesses.

In the center of Tadmore Elementary School is a breath of fresh air, a place where fountains splash, berries grow and hummingbirds and butterflies frequent. The school’s courtyard was long ago converted into a garden, but the space had become overgrown and unused in recent years. Volunteer Jim McQuillen decided to help.
