4.15.26 Spring Garden Lessons are in Full Swing • Plant Sale • Farm Camp Registration
| Spring Garden Lessons are in Full Swing We are digging into the lesson theme of, “Exploring gardens from the bottom up” this year. Students are starting their spring lessons with a look at what makes the compost that helps us grow nourishing foods. In the first lesson we talk about the benefits of composting, build a compost sandwich, and then plant seed starts that will eventually fill the gardens later this spring.    Summer on the Farm Farm Camp Registration is Open Are you ready to dig, run, build, draw, garden, eat and discover? GROW presents Summer on the Farm. Students will plant, tend, and harvest fruits and vegetables and explore where our food comes from. Students will also learn how to identify species and understand the relationship between each part of the farm and the larger ecosystem. We will spend time each day being active outside including: hiking up the bluffs, building forts, splashing in the creek, and caring for the animals at the farm. In this session we will place an emphasis on science – animal behavior, hypothesis formation, data collection, species identification, building connections in the larger farm ecosystem, local signs and solutions to climate change and more.
