A Word From Our Team
"We are very excited to be celebrating the 25 th year of “Opening the Door to the World for Your Child” and we are feeling very positive as we start off on the next chapter of this journey. There are so many good things happening in our communities that are a result of people being connected and educated about supports and services that are available to their loved ones. We plan to continue to be a big part of helping make those connections and ensuring that everyone is able to reach their potential in leading independent, productive lives within the community."

We are so excited for Spring! Are you and your family thinking about having a garden this year? Now is the perfect time to begin starting seeds indoors for vegetable plants such as tomatoes and peppers if you plan to grow these from seeds yourself! This afternoon we will go over how to begin tomato and pepper seeds indoors. We will also discuss transplanting guidelines and other tips and tricks for your seedlings. We will cover the difference between container gardening vs. planting directly in the ground and help you decide which is best for you! FRN will be providing seed packets and other needed growing supplies for all participants who register by April 1st. Lunch will be provided.
