Sharing Our Guilford County School Gardens

Pleasant Garden Elementary shares its plans for a 5th grade Colonial Garden!

5th grade teacher Amy Pegram shares this garden update:

Fifth grade students and teachers at Pleasant Garden Elementary School are stepping back in time by creating and tending a colonial herb garden on the school grounds. They launched the garden project last year as a service learning opportunity in order to give back to the community, making herbs available to those who may want or need them. 

The garden is a raised bed area with a variety of herbs that would have been used in colonial cooking and medicines.

 Students are excited to work in the garden and plan to enjoy the fruits of their labor by preparing some recipes that will include their homegrown herbs. The teachers envision and look forward to a very tasty future for their herb garden.
