After harvest, students were able to sample delicious recipes and foods made with the produce from their own classroom garden bed. </span></span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 18px;">We had over 35 kids and adults working together. All of the beds were prepped with compost and soil. The grass was cut out for the water box, the Butterfly Garden was trimmed, the Herb Garden was weeded and the cinder blocks got a colorful facelift. Kids left with several little seedlings! </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 18px;">What a successful, positive and productive afternoon!</span></div>

<br />
<div class="p1">
Halloween at SPE was not all about candy! </div>
<div class="p1">
All students were treated with with a super fun tasting of fresh local fruit organized by our Wellness Committee led by Coach Gary Bond.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Parents and faculty chopped and prepped the morning way as students came through the lunch line to learn the taste, smell and touch of two very exotic fruits from overseas that also grow locally in South Florida: Jackfruit and Guava. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The kids loved passing the spiky green jackfruit around and the sweet smell of ripe guavas. </div>
<div class="p1">
"I like like the taste of the jackfruit," said a 1st grader, "it tastes like bubble gum." </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The Wellness Committee would like to thank Aria Seder for organizing the fruit donation, our resident photographer Ely Bistrong for photographing the event and to all of the parents who helped chop and prep the fruit all morning! </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Way to go SPE!</div>

Welcome back SPE parents, students and teachers!<br />
<br />
As you may already know, South Pointe Elementary school has been reaping the benefits (no pun intended!) of our very own Organic Edible and Smoothie Garden! The mission of the gardens is to foster invaluable lessons about growing healthy fruits and vegetables and about cultivating respect for the environment to our children.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
Last year, under the dedicated leadership and green thumb of SPE parent, Catherine Prescott, and troops of students, administrators, teachers and parents; we achieved the following:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
1. Added a new Butterfly Garden using Florida Native, drought-tolerant plants and flowering vines (donated by <a href="http://www.silverpalmnursery.com/" target="_blank">Silver Palm Nursery</a> and designed by <a href="http://www.morellandscape.com/" target="_blank">Morel Landscape</a>).</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
2. Planted a Carambola tree (star fruit) at the southern edge of the garden in memory of Mr. Philips' father (feel free to put this earlier in the list).</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
3. With the Wellness Committee led by SPE Phys-Ed teacher, Coach Gary Bond, offered food tastings for all students showcasing in-season fruit and produce.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
4. Hosted FREE Healthy Eating Workshops for the SPE community with <a href="http://onceuponacarrot.org/" target="_blank">Once Upon a Carrot </a>founder Cindy Hill.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
5. Added colorful stepping stones throughout the garden painted by the After School Care Garden Club led by SPE parents, Miss Jacqui and Annhy Shim.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
6. Harvested bell peppers, spinach, lettuce and herbs which were all used in the food tastings. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
7. Hosted the Annual Green Market which raised over $3000 in funds to buy mulch, soil, seeds, supplies for the garden.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
8. Hosted Family Friday, where families and kids came out after school to help weed, mulch and harvest the gardens. Organic cookie treats were donated by <a href="http://www.ginnybakes.com/" target="_blank">Ginnybakes</a>. Getting dirty never tasted so good!<br />
<br />
9. Raised over $200 for the garden, by selling Peace Lily plants during the holidays. This year, we hope to do this again and double the sales! Peace Lily plants are rated as one of the top indoor air cleaning plants and are perfect for shady areas in your home or office! Read this article from the <a href="http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/03/really-some-plants-can-filter-airborne-chemicals/?src=rechp" target="_blank">New York Times</a> and learn more- then make sure to stock up this December! No pressure... :)</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p4">
This year, we welcome in the skills of SPE parents Eve Scheinblum and Jessica Burns who will be growing the gardens to the next level and keeping their hands dirty! We also have the generous help of Roger Horne of <a href="http://urbangreenworks.org/" target="_blank">UrbanGreenWorks</a> and <a href="http://www.nativesplendor.com/" target="_blank">Native Splendor</a> in Miami. His efforts and expertise are incredibly valuable and his tireless work in the community is absolutely inspiring. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
So- we now welcome YOU to join us and help us accomplish fantastic green-minded things this year!</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<b>Our first meeting will be held on Friday September 21 at 8:40am in the SPE Media Center.</b></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Please feel free to send an email to Jessica at spegarden@gmail.com! </div>

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The program, spearheaded by Coach Gary Bond and the help of volunteer parents and the cafeteria staff, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">was a big hit with the elementary school children.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We began at 8:45 am by preparing two recipes for lunchtime tastings for the 500 students. We harvested herbs and vegetables from the garden and incorporated it into our recipes. Tomato Bruschetta and Green Beans with an Herbed 'Green Goddess' Dressing. We used fresh, local and sustainably grown tomatoes and green beans, All of the herbs were incorporated into the tomato topping for the bruschetta, as well as the herbed dressing. We lowered the fat content by using Greek yogurt. We also served less than a tsp. per plate. The dressing was to entice and enhance the green beans. The bread was toasted with extra-virgin olive oil and sea salt. The post-sampling student survey said 75% enjoyed the tastings and many students were asking for seconds!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding: 0px;"><br />

<br />
We apologize for our brief hiatus, but we were busy hawking Peace Lilies for the holidays and making our big plans for the South Pointe Elementary Butterfly Garden!<br />
<br />
That's right- we have been teaming up with some green-thumbed SPE parents to design and develop a fabulous butterfly garden that will be filled with beautiful, low-maintenance, Florida native plants- that will also act as a buffer around our organic edible garden- which by the way, is doing quite amazingly! We encourage you to have a gander at the next drop-off, or pick-up. It's really quite a bounty that we are so so proud of.<br />
<br />
As you all know, "it takes a village", so on that note- we want to thank everyone who have made our garden what it is today. All the time, love (and weeding!) is what truly makes our garden grow. Following suit, we would like to put an open call to anyone interested in helping us get the new butterfly garden installed.<br />
<br />
Here is our open call:<br />

Yes, that's right- a simple plate.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.choosemyplate.gov/">MyPlate</a> to be exact, is the branded term for the new federal goverment dietary guidelines. MyPlate advises Americans to enjoy their food, but less of it- based on a plate divided into quadrants. 1/4 fruit, 1/4 vegetables, 1/4 protein and 1/4 whole grains- and a serving of low fat dairy.<br />
<br />
As parents of pre-school and elementary children, we all know that mealtimes can be challenging. It's easy to get into the habit- especially with our time starved lives to whip up sureshot dinners that we know our little ones will eat such as pasta or chicken strips- and forget about our much needed greens and reds!<br />
<br />
Statistics show that only 22% of children aged 2-5; and only 16% of children aged 6 and up are getting the government recommended fresh fruit and vegetables- according to a recent study from Ohio State University. We live in a nation with ever-increasing rates of Type 2 diabetes and obesity amongst adults and sadly, amongst our children as well.<br />
<br />
Here are five easy tips, that we hope will help those of you who have picky little ones- to help introduce fruits and veggies into their diets and to help them become stronger and healthier eaters!<br />
<br />
1. <b>Re-Brand! </b>Make up new names for vegetables. Create silly names like "Power Pellets" for things like brussel sprouts or green beans- to make them more kid-friendly and appealing.<br />
<br />
2. <b>The One Bite Rule.</b> Try telling your child that they <i>at least</i>, need to take one full bite of something before vetoing it. At least it gets them trying something, and hopefully eventually getting comfortable with it.<br />
<br />
3. <b>Shop and Cook with your Kids.</b> Let your kids pick one vegetable that looks appealing to them- then also let them help your prepare them. It's easy to let them (depending on age of course) to wash, snip, or pour a little dressing on a salad to steamed green beans. If they take part in preparing something to more apt they may be to wanting to eat it- even if it's a little bite!<br />
<br />
4. <b>Hide the Veggies.</b> The simplest place to sneak in vegetables is your basic spaghetti sauce! Steam, boil and puree squash, spinach or sweet potatoes- and mix into your favorite tomato sauce. Add some parmesan cheese into the sauce as well- and we guarantee your little ones won't know the difference.<br />
<br />
5. <b>Hold Dessert Hostage.</b> For those households out there that enjoy dessert after meals, this is a simple, and seemingly not-so-nice way to get them to try vegetables, but it usually works. Tell them that they have to eat their vegetables (set them up for success by starting with a small portion!) in order to get dessert. Show them that it applies to the grown ups as well. Soon enough it will become second nature and sometimes dessert will even go un-noticed.<br />
<br />
Good luck and happy healthy eating!!!<br />
<br />

<div style="font-family: Times;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times;">To date all of the garden beds have been tilled and mulched thanks to our resident green thumb and garden advisor extraordinaire, <a href="http://www.togethergreen.org/People/HeroDetails.aspx?heroID=191">Roger Horne</a>! </div><div style="font-family: Times;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times;">And although last weekend's rains delayed some planting, they didn't stop Ms. Jaqui and her Gardening Club from planting the first bed. We plan to complete the planting for each grade level within the next week. Trust us, we'll keep you posted.</div><div style="font-family: Times;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times;">Last week we received a donation of herb plants from <a href="http://www.morellandscape.com/">Morel Landscape</a> including some fragrant Rosemary, which is delicious to eat and known to be a natural insect repellent properties. Thank you!</div><div style="font-family: Times;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times;">The mixed veggie and herb seedlings that we're putting into the ground have been donated by <a href="http://www.teenaspridecsa.com/">Teena's Pride</a>. Teena's Pride, in Homested, Florida, has specialized in locally grown produce for over 35 years - and has been a strong supporter of the SPE Edible Garden from the outset. This year, Teena also gave us a Raspberry bush, which is a new addition to our garden. Come October, we'll also receive some of her award-winning, to-die-for Heirloom Tomato plants to add to our garden. Can't wait! We encourage you to check out Teena's website and sign up to be a part of her CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Picking up your share of fresh produce from <a href="http://www.teenaspridecsa.com/?page_id=7">Teena's CSA</a> from the Whole Foods on Alton Road makes the 'farm to table' concept a very simple reality for your family.</div><div style="font-family: Times;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Times;">We truly thank everyone who continues to help our garden grow in so many ways, and we encourage everyone to take an interest - even if it's by simply taking the time to read our blog updates - because we promise you that every step along this year's growing season will be a journey worth sharing that will hopefully inspire parents, teachers and students to take pride in this special green initiative we've nurtured at South Pointe Elementary.</div></div>SPE Organic Edible Gardenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09925907172209529478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744989052906657064.post-19242810814603658622011-09-12T09:12:00.000-07:002011-09-12T09:42:52.419-07:00September's Here.

The commercialization of food in today's world has taken away a basic "farm to table" understanding amongst many Americans. School gardens are a fantastic way for up and coming generations to witness where and how food grows. School gardens also have a positive effect on children's vegetable intake. Put simply, if they plant it they will try it. And we can’t ask for more than that.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
