June2022 Taking care of the garden
Thursday started with an amazing concert and continued with some hands-on hard work in the garden! Thank you to the many students who helped harvest lettuce, sugar snap peas, dinosaur kale, thyme, oregano, cilantro, spinach, and mustard greens! Practically an entire grocery store Produce Section!!! Several students took bags of lettuce and herbs home to make salads for their families tonight. To add to the fun, many students and even Mr. Davis completed the "Mustard Green Challenge "-- the results were across the board...ZIPPY!!!
Once the "ready to eat vegetables" were harvested, our hardworking bulldogs then tackled planting peppers, tomatoes, basil, cucumbers, and zucchini.
A special thanks to our Master Gardener, Ms. Erica Jones, from the Community Ecology Institute and Nourishing Gardens Program, who continues to teach us about vegetable gardens and provide us with the seeds and plants for our garden . Additionally, a BIG thank you to Mr. Smith, Mrs. McLamb, Ms. Shockley, and Mr. Henry for getting students to the garden today and supporting them while they were out there!
