It's hard to believe we're at the end of the road for the 2017-2018 school year. The garden has gone through its yearly transformation and is currently a lush haven for humans and non-humans alike. We've been enjoying snap peas, radishes, greens, garlic scapes, turnips and so much more as we watch our summer crops growing. Students are already asking about tomatoes, melons and cucumbers that will be ready for them when we return in September. I am so grateful to have landed at Springwater this year & am happy to reflect on a year full of discovery, hard work and fun with staff, students and families. Thank you to all for welcoming me into this community-- I can't wait to return for another year come Fall.
This Spring we published a recipe book (pick up your copy at the front office!), ran a farm stand, planted native plants for pollinators, made our own chapstick, prepared fresh meals from the garden, built insect habitats, installed a pond, hosted students from the Oregon City Service Learning Academy, and of course planted hundreds of seeds and starts in the garden! Take a look at the photos below for a peek into what we've been up to.
A big thank you to all the families who signed up at VIP day to care for the garden this summer! We are so grateful to know the garden is in good hands.
Have a wonderful summer & please stop by the garden anytime you're in the neighborhood. Until next year!
