Ruth Washburn Cooperative Nursery School

We are a parent cooperative preschool in Colorado Springs, CO.  Gardening is an important part of our school curriculum, the emphasis being on teaching the children at a young age healthy eating habits and how our produce is grown. We have a wonderful fenced garden with raised beds, but are trying to find ways to maximise our growing season and make it a continuum even though the children are gone over the summer and are in a different class the following school year.
