Description
During our time in the school garden areas, students will enjoy hands-on learning of biology and ecology, and will gain understanding of our food sources and how to nurture, respect, and enjoy them. We will plant, care for, harvest, and eat a variety of fruits and vegetables; build healthy new soil through composting and planting of cover crops; harvest seeds and store them for the next cycle of planting; observe the plant life cycles through the changing of seasons; and study water soil and root systems, as well as the diverse population of insects, invertebrates and animals who inhabit the school garden areas. Being an integral part of the garden’s growth and life cycles instills a sense of environmental stewardship in our students and gives them the rewards of working in community to create something wonderful.
