Our entire school community has been supportive of us using the garden as our next humanities unit! There's a lot to organize and think through. One thing we want to keep going is having classes adopt a garden bed. This year we'll have garden beds with the following themes: Save the Bees, Mother Nature's Medicine Cabinet, and Salsa Jam. We've also applied for a Westerra grant and Whole Foods garden grant- fingers crossed!
