A Garden Party

 We ended our summer with a fabulous feast to celebrate our hard work. Our gardeners incorporated fresh ingredients picked from our garden for each dish! 

Will and Amelia enjoy pasta salad with herbs from the garden, including basil and oregano
Alessandro, Jayden, Xavier, and Conner enjoy Caprese salad with fresh basil
 
We invented a refreshing drink for a hot day: Garden Party Punch! It is one half lemonade, on half Sprite, a lemon and or lime slice, and peppermint or basil leaves to taste. 
This was our favorite thing on the menu! 

Mrs. Kurtz grew corn this summer and Eco Club painted rocks to decorate the garden

After a lot of watering, our ground flower made a brilliant comeback. Thank you so much Orquiola family for donating a Lily of the Valley! We are hoping it settled in nicely and will grow back in the spring. 



Although I didn’t capture it as well as I would have liked to, a monarch butterfly graced us with its presence for our last summer meeting.

Summer 2022: Breaking ground!

 This summer we have a lot to be grateful for. During the spring, we tilled the soil and treated it with compost, coffee grounds, egg shells...
