Cherokee Gardens

6th and 7th grade has been active this year developing our "Cherokee Gardens" as a service learning project. Thank you to SDMS 4-H and SHADES for the wonderful new garden beds! Students enjoyed dissecting tomatoes and making their own pico de gallo salsa this year with delicious tomatoes, garlic, and bell peppers from the garden. "This is the best salsa I have ever eaten!" - 6th grade student. Students also helped harvest sunflowers for the unique Labor Day Sunflower Festival at the Knoxville Botanic Gardens.
