Did you know that food tastes way better when we try it in the garden? - that's what the 650+ students share with me when they come to learn, grow, cook and taste in the school garden. Our school garden provides an outdoor classroom for a variety of lessons: science, art, nutrition, physical activity, writing and much more.
"To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow" -A.Hepburn
My students are creative, thoughtful and full of questions! They absolutely love the hands-on approach in the garden.
My Project
Our school garden continues to grow, bloom and expand. We have a spring scale to keep track of the amount of fruits and vegetables harvested from the garden. The lightweight hoses will be easy for students to use while watering plants. The cottonseed meal will give the soil an extra boost for increased produce production.
Students will use the label markers for plant identification in the main garden and the pollinator garden.
Labels will also be used for plant propagation lessons in preparation for Open House in the spring. Students are excited to come to the garden. Thank you for helping students and the garden grow.
