    We have encountered birds nesting in our raised beds causing so damage to our new planted plants. So our scholars suggested placing netting on all raised beds. This definitely helped, because we can still water all our plants. So kudos to our scholars for suggesting this idea.

    That's a great solution your scholars came up with! Birds can be tricky when they start nesting in the beds, but using netting is such a smart way to protect your plants while still keeping them accessible for watering. It's awesome to see the students actively contributing ideas to improve the garden. It really shows how engaged they are with the project and the importance of teamwork. Hopefully, this keeps your plants safe moving forward!
