Today in our first session we got to know each other and learned some rules of the garden - be safe and respect others, protect wildlife and 'don't step on stuff'.
After a get acquainted ball toss game, Jeff gave us all a lesson in 3-seasons of crops. We got to see the early spring crops ready for harvest, including lettuce, kale and kholrabi.
Today's lesson was 'Why there is hunger' and a crossword puzzle illustrated reasons some people go hungry. Our youthful participants did a great job answering the clues!
Everyone got to pick what type of garden they are going to plant. Choices were sunshine garden, holiday garden, salsa garden and wierd garden - I can't wait to see them!
Here is a 'before' picture of the garden. By Monday this will be tilled and marked off in plots, ready for planting. Monday is dig in the dirt day!
Check back often to see our gardens grow!
