Many Pingry folks of all ages have been inspired to start their own patches of garden happiness at home as a result of the knowledge gained in their classes and work teams. Mr. Corvino added many flowering plants and bushes to his backyard last summer and raised crops of tomatoes and basil, ingredients for pizza that he will regrow this planting season.We thought it would be fun to do a survey to find out how many families and faculty members have been getting their hands dirty in hopes of a harvest payoff or for the incentive of providing more color and beauty in their lives. Below is one first grader who is leading the action at her own home because this is a new venture for her family! Notice the companion plant marigolds ready to lend their bright color and guardian function.
