The big fall clean up has begun! Students are raking leaves, cleaning out beds of old plants and dead heading the last few cycles of our beautiful marigolds. Our Pingry scarecrow has done its work and has been put away. Soon our garden will be a cold, still, quiet place as it goes to sleep for the winter.
K-3 Garden Spring 2012
The Kindergarten loads the composter!
Lots of busy people have been taking care of the garden plots! Today one of the Kindergarten classes did some raking to fill up the one of the composting bins. Next they will add apple cores, banana peels and other raw veggies to get the composting started. They loved wearing garden gloves donated by a "garden fairy" and using the child sized wheel barrels and rakes! The fun has begun!
