Garden Journals and Seeds!

The past two Mondays have not been so favorable for us in the Children's Garden, but we've adjusted and still managed to get our garden preparations started. To start, we made Garden Journals, as a way to document the transformation of the garden. They really are fabulous!

Today, we managed to get some seeds planted in containers ranging from sunflowers to various vegetables. We can't wait to see how these seeds sprout! Many thanks to Mrs. Spreen for letting us use her sunny classroom until they are ready to plant in the garden. 

Also, in other news, we are taking our first Garden Club field trip to Morraine Farm this Thursday, April 3rd at 2:30. We will be taking a tour of the greenhouse, exploring where Beverly Schools get some of their vegetables, and see the starting of summer's bounty! Morraine Farm has generously donated seedlings for our tiered beds this year and we are so very grateful. Wear boots, as it will probably be muddy!
