Our student garden this year is quickly ex-seeding our expectations! The 30 students in our Saturday Montessori class have each been working with a 5 tier planter which they assembled, filled with potting soil and planted according to tier the following seeds: cucumber, carrots, radishes, swiss chard, broccoli and onions. Each Saturday the students pick out any weeds and water their crops. These past 2 weeks the students have already been harvesting their first radish crops and within the month they will start harvesting their swiss chard. This year we are doing 100% organic farming and have found that the perfect combination is for the students to cover the seeds they plant with a thin layer of worm compost. Our students are learning not only how to grow their own foods, but they are also learning to value vegetables and hopefully to enjoy the taste of something their own hands have grown. Thank you for being a part of this great project!
Best wishes,
Colleen
