Welcome to Guilford County Cooperative Extension School Garden Network team blog! We hope this can be a space for everyone involved in school gardening in Guilford County to share their experiences. Lets let each other know about what works, and troubleshoot what doesn't!
Sarah
Crawford, school garden educator and Deb Caludsian, ESL teacher at Cone
delivered a load of compost donated from White Street Landfill
to blend with
soil in the raised beds.
School children attending the garden event enjoyed
shoveling and filling beds.
Sarah also demonstrated seedling thinning, watering
and fertilizing.
Foodcorps service member Quina Weber-Shirk shared
vermiculture activities
which were very exciting and engaging for the children!
Master Gardener Jean Aller shared a presentation on
container gardening which
can be done with very little gardening space at home.
Sarah Crawford, garden educator, also demonstrated seedling
thinning, watering and fertilizing.
Brooks Global students supplied the transplants used in the garden as
part of
their service learning project.
It takes a village of parents, teachers, students, and
school garden volunteers to
make for a lovely hands-on experience!
