Our 7th-8th grade "Foxes" were really inspired by what they saw on a field trip on Friday, October 12, 2012. Read what they had to say about the gardens in their own words!
” My goal for the Springwater garden is to give it the magical feel….the secret garden theme. Besides plants and fountains I really enjoyed the benches and interactive decorations.” – Kelli
” We found some interesting colored beans…. these would be a good addition to our garden because they were interesting, bright, colorful and would add some variety to our garden.” – McKenna
“Today we were sent to Sellwood to scope out people’s gardens for inspiration. We found trellises, benches, fountains, covered areas and a kids play “den” made out of big branches.” -Micheal
“Another things I saw were benches, bird baths, bird houses, stone paths and arc ways.” – Amber
” A bird bath and some climbing plants would be cool in the garden.” -Patience
” We could make mosaics and paint flagstones. It would make the garden really nice.” – Izzy
“I am glad we got to see the plants and inspire everyone to work on our school garden.”-Tessa
“We saw that they used clover for a winter crop. It puts nitrogen back in the soil which I think is a good idea.” -Grant
