It is wonderful to have the kids back in the garden!
The sixth graders harvested, chopped and ground the ingredients for the sauce for our Grandparents Dinner in October!
The kindergarteners brought up two large buckets of carrots - and there are still more down there!
The garlic harvested over the summer by one of our second grade families was just delivered to school after drying. The kitchen staff are pretty excited!
Thanks to the Splonskowskis and the Bachelder / Gates families!
We are super excited to harvest our first rhubarb from the patch this spring!

Kindergarten planted the garlic this past fall
Hardneck garlic saved from last season
They broke it into cloves
And planted the bed
On April 13th it was already coming up!
