Classroom Plantings 
FALL 2013

Thank you to our wonderful teachers and students!  We planted "teamwork and friendship" gardens, played spanish garden bingo and read Tops and Bottoms by Janet Stevens and Surprise Garden by Zoe Hall.  

In early December, these classrooms will harvest their beds and try recipes with the foods they have grown.

Shhhh! PreK and K have SURPRISE! gardens growing this semester.  See if you can guess what they are growing....

A very big thank you to Andrea Cardona & Family for keeping our young seedlings watered and loved!

Take a garden walk to see what's growing. Remember to use gentle hands and gentle feet when in the Children's Garden.


















Roger Horne and Co-Chair Amy Petro help our young gardeners!

A practical lesson in teamwork! Teamwork gardening uses plants that share nutrients and attract and repel bugs together.  You have to work together if you want to grow.... true out of the garden too!

Warm thanks from the Children's Garden for a very special 
Family Garden Day!  

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!  What a successful, positive and productive afternoon!

A special thank you to 
Cindy Hill from Once Upon a Carrot.  

We grow the garden together!




  



THANK YOU CINDY HILL AND ONCE UPON A CARROT!
