Thanks to the many hard-working volunteers from Transition Laguna Beach, and the El Morro Garden Club volunteers, the El Morro Garden received a fantastic facelift. On Sat., Oct. 16, the six garden beds were dug up and wire and cloth were placed on the bottom of the beds to prevent gophers and weeds. Then the soil was hand-sifted to remove roots and rocks and it was mixed with fresh compost and amendments and placed back in the boxes. We had two truckloads of compostThe El Morro Garden Club meets most Mondays from 2:30-3:30 p.m. Students choose how they spend their time in the garden. Options include: working in the garden (planting, weeding, harvesting), completing a garden-themed, hands-on activity that enhances their understanding of math, science, reading, writing, or creative arts, or engaging in supervised "free play" utilizing a bin of supplies such as books, journals, magnifying glasses, and art supplies.
