SEEDS!

For the past few weeks, our horticulture class has been planting seeds for our school garden. Every student has gotten the opportunity to pick out 2 different types of seeds (flowers and vegetables). They have been growing these seeds in trays and pots. Everyday, the students come in and water their seeds.
Last week, when the weather cleared up, we went out and started cleaning the gardens. The students were put in teams and were designated to clean up a certain area. One of the teachers helped build boxes for our vegetables to be grown in. On Friday, we went out and put the boxes in different areas of the school where we want the vegetables to be grown.
It has been very tiring yet an exciting moment for each student in the horticulture class. We look forward to planting the seedlings in those gardens.
Over the next few weeks, the students will be publishing their own thoughts towards this goal. We will also be uploading pictures to show the progress of our flowers and vegetables.
