Our school garden is new to the school and we are still exploring the best ways to incorporate it into our academic learning.  We have just built compost bins and are excited to use them!   We are in the process of getting our school on board to compost our lunch waste and waste from our bi-weekly fruit and vegetable snacks.  Seeds for a salad garden have been planted and will be ready to plant out in the spring!

So far we have used our garden as a place for art classes to gather and create art, as a place for first graders to explore seeds and plant them, and a place for students in our after school garden to harvest produce and sell it in our farmers’ markets.  As the year progresses we hope all grade levels will use the garden and we will become more organized and effective in utilizing our school garden!
