Rose Hill Montessori Primary Class Garden

In our third year our garden (and it's helpers) have definitely made progress. This year our class of 25 children, ages 3 - 6, planted strawberries, peas, beans, blackberry bushes, radishes, carrots, lettuce and flowers. Today, June 4, they were able to pick a few strawberries and radishes, and the rest of our garden seems to be thriving.
