*The Ecology Club will not start until the 2022-23 new school year. Please check out what we do in the club below if you're interested in joining when we do start.
Currently, (March 2022) a few 7th graders volunteered to work in the garden. We planted Kale, Chard, Chickpeas, Fava Beans, Beets, Strawberries this week.
Peach & Plum Tree blossoms are blooming!!
Back on campus in April 2021 after CLOSE CLOSURE!!! Students that came back were able to restart the HMS Organic Garden.
They planted a bunch of veggies late April: strawberries, peppers, corn, zucchini, & tomatoes.
They also maintained the birdfeeders, composter, and the fruit trees.
Thank you so much for helping out in the garden and can't wait for everything to mature & grow.
On November 22, 2019, Farm Sanctuary's Chloe Fuller came and taught us about what they do at their amazing refuge for factory farm animals. https://www.farmsanctuary.org She used all sorts of mediums to share their stories, including Virtual Reality (VR)
On December 11, 2019, we planted new Organic plants for the new year.
Ms. Danielle also donated a few bags of soil and a peach, guava, and pineapple sage plant.
The eco kids planted: Kale, lettuce, dill, leek, radish, beets, and spinach.
Danielle and Katie also placed food scraps in our Worm Composting bin. This will hopefully create rich, nutritious soil for our garden in a few weeks. Students are also giving our new veggies "liquid kelp" to help them grow strong organically.
