Things happening...

We've been preparing for 6th graders to spend a week at Outdoor School in late October, and the garden has been especially useful. The curriculum for Outdoor School revolves around field studies of Soil, Water, Animals, and Plants. This week we've been studying soil, and students spent time in the garden and there was more than enough produce for each student to take home a couple things. Students also spent time establishing their own rules for the garden and greenhouse now that the entire school has access to it.

The ginger I bought in Hawaii is also growing well in our greenhouse.

In the next week, students are going to start their own compost and plant garlic in one of the empty beds.
