Our Master Gardeners have been working hard on our garden. Check out our Sensory Garden, Climbing Garden, Salsa Garden, and Salad Garden. 2nd grade will be adding their yearly butterfly garden soon in the other 2 beds. Excited about getting kids out in the garden for our Earth Day assembly on Friday!
Our school garden is an extension to our classrooms where students can interact with nature and become engaged in their learning. The processes of learning have much in common with gardening. We prepare the soil, plant the seeds and harvest the crops. We hope to build a love for learning by not only growing fruits, vegetables and flowers but by helping to grow successful students.

Master Gardeners Preparing the Soil and Bunny Nest
Master Gardeners
Today our Master Gardeners pulled weeds and worked in 32 bags of soil. That is 64 cubic feet of dirt! Our beds are ready to plant starting with a Salad Garden, Salsa Garden, a Five Senses Garden, and a Gourd Garden. Our 2nd graders will be working on the other two beds to add a Butterfly Garden as they learn about butterflies! We are so excited to see kids out exploring and observing nature!
Bunnies in the Garden!
While pulling weeds Mrs. Reynolds found a sweet bunny nest in one of the beds. There were at least 3-4 bunnies in that burrow! They were very camouflaged and lots of great discussions and observations happened during our work time!
Can you see them under the nesting material?
