The children wrote some things they wanted to see in their garden.

Grecia said; "we have a dad who came in today and showed us how to make seed bombs, he comes in every Friday and we were thinking that we could plan flowers, plans, fruit and fruit trees all around the school"

Marcos said; " Gardening is important to the environment, it helps a lot. Furtilizers like Seed Bombs, Chicken Poop Tea (we have chickens at school as well), compost and coffeegrounds help fertilize the garden.

These are just a couple of our students who are very excited about our garden project this year.
