Fall Harvest

This week in the garden we picked the fruits of our labor...literally.

In the Garden:

Picked from our garden!

• The students had fun picking watermelon and cucumber melon from the garden. We enjoyed having the fresh fruit for snack.  
• We continued to weed out the wild mint.
• Our Master Gardener volunteer Gena assisted the kids with planting radishes, marigolds, and calendula.
• We spotted a huge grasshopper sitting quietly on one of our strawberry plants.

Activity Theme: Sunscreen!

• Since our shade structure collapsed in a winter storm last year, we needed to get creative with providing shade for the kids. Today in the garden they decorated sun visors to use when they are in the garden.

A special thanks to Kim Lucas for providing a healthy snack to fuel the kids for gardening.
