Week Three Updates!

Here are pics from our third week. We spent some time in class further discussing the reasons for creating and maintaining a school garden, and the environmental impact of food being transported globally vs locally. Then students designed their own gardens based on budget, size, and materials.

Students also learned about how stems transport food and water with an experiment using celery and colored water.

Although it wasn't the most glamorous week in the garden, we did haul A LOT of dirt in newly built raised beds and then planted seeds for collards, bok choy, spinach, broccoli, radishes, and carrots. We are going to have a great fall harvest!
