Garden Expansion and Kids Lesson

The beginning of the new expansion



The Gardeners began the labor intensive task of digging out the rows of the new section. We had may heroes to help accomplish this project. Lots of blisters, sore backs and arms.


Ben already planted his little garden. Lots of radishes and turnips. The other children are waiting for the watering system to be installed.



Here Marina and Kyle are getting a lesson on tropism.


The whole group absorbing the lesson. We later went inside and Kyle showed us a book he had created around a Jr Master Gardener activity. He had 25 bean seeded that he planted and each day he took one out of its pot and examined, photographed, and recorded how the seed sprouted.
