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!

Murphey Traditional Open House, 
Open School Garden!



The PTA President and Linda Gordon, School Social Worker pose with the school garden display. There is a lot of excitement on campus about the new school garden.


Here is the garden planning diagram the gardening committee drew up before beginning to dig.


Here is one of the many students who have signed up for the school gardening club.



Eagle scouts built the four 4'x16' garden beds and raised enough money for the school garden to move to phase two which will include benches.


Master Gardener Mentor Mike Hughes has begun working with the Murphy Elementary staff on their Fall garden. We will keep you posted on what they plant and how the teachers us the garden.






Second graders and teacher Ms. Victoria Bartell  are already busy planting transplants into the school garden!
