Park Middle School Garden
Welcome to the website of Park Middle School's Garden Club. You can check here to see what has been happening in the garden, to share your ideas for the garden, and perhaps to be inspired for creating your own garden! We are also tracking the journey of our friend, Slagathor, the mighty Monarch, as he travels to Mexico for the winter. We await the return of Slagathor Junior, this spring when the Monarchs complete their journey north. We have much to do to prepare our garden to be a suitable habitat for Slagothor's children and grandchildren. Below is our Padlet, which you can post on to give us feedback on, make sure it is foucased on gradening ONLY!!!!

Putting the Garden to bed for the winter :(
Garlic
We planted cloves of garlic - in the spring we will harvest complete bulbs!
Cold-weather greens
Lettuce, kale and snow peas like the cold weather. We will cover them with greenhouses to extend the harvest.
Carrots for Spring
Carrots are another thing that grow in the garden. When winter approaches we harvest them. They turn out really tiny as you can see in the picture above
Under here is where we grow.....
Peas and different types of kale!
This summer we harvested many vegetables and herbs, and created some delicious culinary delights. See the Recipes! page for more information!
Carrots coming out!
The new born lettuce!
Barthomlue the loner, he says, "I need a friend please..."
Barthomlue misses Slagothor, and wishes for his return, but little does he know he will never see him again.
Slagothor Bellows his famous war cry!
FOR THE HONOR OF GRAYSKULL!
Last ground cherry harvest
Also known as "husk cherries" - they look like baby tomatillos.
So many ground cherries make...
Each ground cherry is husked and then is ready to eat.
Ground cherry jam!
3 cups of ground cherries + 1 cup of sugar + 2 tablespoons of lemon juice... Cook for about 30 minutes, let cool and enjoy!
Gardens Grow Butterflies, too! (And Gnomes!) See the SLAGOTHOR page for more information about the Monarch butterflies

Just a gnome living life as the right-hand man of Slagothor
How Monarch Butterflies are born
THE RISE OF SLAGOTHOR
Stage 1
They all start out as caterpillars.
Stage 2
When a certain time comes, they start to make something called a chrysalis.
Stage 3
They come out of their chrysalis, and are now, butterfly!
Stage four:
- THEY CONQUER THE PLANET
The courtyard transformed, just like caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies!
Before...
This is how the garden club first started out, aka, BOOOOOOORIIIIING!!!!
