UDCA Helps Palmer Park Prep Academy Get Garden Ready for Students & Teachers

Sep 1, 2026 | UDCA Board Updates

The UDCA Beautification Committee partnered with the school’s PTA volunteers on a
Back to School clean up on August 20.

Work involved pruning overgrown plants, clearing stepping stones, staking up cherry
tomatoes gone wild, and exposing herbs that insects need for nectar.

Together, we filled three large lawn waste bags and two small trash bags. Along the
way, we discovered garden art that students made in previous years!
