Torches

Writing about adorable home designs and architecture are my favorite pastime. When the day is calm, I usually go driving down streets and see for the new houses and their elegant home exterior and amazing curb appeal. Lately, I was attracted to one house, which is the new subject for my writing, and its beautiful tiki torch. Salute to the makers Buytikitorches.com.

 The organic garden is maintained by students in the AP Environmental Science class through a year-long research project in sustainability, complementing the curriculum. Next year there will be a Gardening Club for 90 minutes per week. Middle school students will also rotate through gardening activities throughout the year. Our garden will be used to teach sustainable practices through the implementation of practices like vertical gardens, integrated pest management, drip irrigation, compost fertilizer, and crop rotation.
