School Yard Greening

Vegetable Garden

We have been teaching students about growing their own food from seeds in our very own vegetable garden, using compostable materials that students collect from classrooms and staffrooms.It was fun for the kids to see a pumpkin grow all by itself from last years compost pile!

Gardening

The Grade 3/4 class used our old raised beds to plant beans and peas. The peas provided a bumper harvest on the last day of school. We learned that beans really can't take any cold and should have been planted later. Students also learned that we should weed more regularly.
