We are excited to finally get our gardens started. We did purchase some mature plants as recommended by the Tarheel gardening ladies.
Kimberly Smith, ACES director, Sharon Funderburk, Jessica Cassell, Martina Holt, ACES teachers, assisted students in the after-school program in planting herbs and vegetables in the raised beds. These students also planted flowers in the main courtyard. These activities culminated their Earth Day unit of study.
The ACES students conducted a community survey which concluded that schools need to keep their campuses clean and orderly. They used campus beautification and clean up in response to the data from the survey to decide how to design their gardens.
