Summer 2009 sunflower plants

ready for clearing

Cleaning up for the Fall planting

Look what we found in the garden -- Worms!

Here are photos from the Fall 2009 lessons/planting,

which took place in October 2009.

One of the first-grade classes learning about plants and what parts of the plant we eat.

The seeds were planted and covered with blankets to protect them while they germinated. The blankets also kept the seeds from flying away in the October winds.

Even the Tedde classes helped plant seeds in their own garden plot.

Here are some photos of the gardens before and after planting.

The Green Thumbs (2nd grade) garden before planting. You can see the summer pumpkin patch in the background.

The parents, teachers, and children took great pride in making their gardens all their own. This photo was taken just before the Christmas holiday.
