Last week and the week before we had students tour the garden. Students who attended our very first garden club collected some of our tomatoes and made salsa. All of the ingredients came from our garden (except the onions.) We did have onions, but they were ready much sooner in the Summer. Next time we will try and time it a little better!
Over the Summer we had more monarch caterpillars come and munch on our milkweed. We collected some and gave them to our eager first graders.
Here is a link to our school featured in New Pioneer Food Co-ops newsletters. The article highlights the importance of planting milkweed and how everyone can help with saving the Monarchs!
