PreK-2nd children will make regular use of cross curricular garden investigations including observations and recorded environmental measurements using their five senses and scientific tools in the project. The first crops of leafy greens could be grown prior to the start of truly hot weather this spring, followed by climbing warm weather crops of beans and cucumbers. Reseeding flowers bloom in the summer available for End Of Year Camp, summer science camp or summer gardening club. In the fall students prepare for cool weather plants by making use of compostable materials to enrich the soil and provide sustainable fertility. This annual cycle, closely attuned to the natural world, would year by year become more woven into the fabric of our school̢
