The idea of student gardeners seems obvious; the whole school gardens every week! But some students want to do more on their own time. A few groups of mixed aged students devote their breaks to getting their hands dirty and growing a garden. The idea is that they can work a plot in the garden as they wish to, with advice from me, and will grow plants for Taste Test Tuesday, as well as for the school. It is admittedly hard to keep quiet when they want to do something I wouldn't do, but that is learning! For them and for me. And their ideas are wonderful in the end. Keep your eyes out in our garden for student run plots and watch them grow!
Tucked in the Gridley Annex next to Kaci Rae's office space, there is a three tiered black shelf filled with gardening advice books, seed catalogs, and a wealth of garden themed books for K-8th graders. While most of these books are used in garden classes with students, adult community members are able to access these books if they would like to explore gardening ideas, advice, or planning. Titles include: Gardening For Health and Nutrition, The Year I Ate My Yard, and The Natural Food Garden.
We are also looking for garden book donations to fill the library shelves. If you have some gardening themed books that you would like to find a new home for, feel free to contact Kaci Rae about donating them. |
