As of today, we finally have our beds prepped and will be planting next week. We had over twenty volunteers show up to help this morning.
This year we are going to focus on service and all veggies grown will be given to families in need of fresh produce. We are coordinating this with our guidance counselor.
This year teachers who are participating in the garden have drafted parent volunteers from their classrooms to help plant and harvest their veggies. We have a parent/grandparent volunteer lined up to help with every classroom this year.
We will continue with our group of kids or the Garden Team which will meet weekly to learn about our garden and assist in the maintenance and other special projects our garden requires. This project is also coordinated with our guidance counselor.
We will also be starting sweet potato slips in 7 classrooms in March.
We will also have support this summer from the full time staff and students to have a summer garden too. We will let you know as this develops further.
