They also adopted the garden beds on the side of the school’s playground. The kindergartners began the project by weeding, then fertilizing the beds with worms. Next, they added plants including peppers, tomatoes, lovage, Egyptian onions, dill, cucumbers, pineapple sage, sunflowers and black-eyed Susans. The class will be taking care of the gardens throughout the rest of the school year.
