Structures for Environmental Learning by the Garden Club

Garden Club students made a healthy snack by creating a pretend garden out of food. They used baby carrots to make a border, filled it with hummus, and topped it with broccoli and salsa. Students had fun making the salad, and it was a great way to reinforce what they had been learning.

Structures for Learning Environment - Gardening Summit

Several members of the Garden Club attended the Gardening Summit at Great Kids Farm in April 2016. We learned about hydroponics, a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions, in water, without soil. They also learned about different types of mushrooms, growing plants in pots, and had a healthy smoothie made from vegetables grown on the farm.
