This week's topic: How does your garden/gardening help beautify or enhance your space? (Feel free to share photos with your response!)
Our school garden is beautiful because our students plant and maintain the space. This spaces enables our students to be creative in non traditional academic ways, as well as be outside in the fresh air. New families and visitors to our school love to visit the garden and to see the vegetables and the flowers. They are always enamored by the garden space and love the programs that we offer.
Pollinators also find our garden beautiful. In the warmer months we plant all sorts of flowers to attract the pollinators to the garden, and they definitely show up! They especially love the rosemary and hyssop flowers! It is so vital that our students connect with the garden and pollinators so that the next generation are good stewards of our environment.
Lastly, we are very fortunate to have an aquaponics system that our science and garden classes use throughout the year. In the winter time when little is growing outside, the aquaponics system is beautiful, green and most importantly producing food for our students.
