Back on campus in April 2021!!!
Students that came back were able to restart the HMS Organic Garden with Ms.Min.
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.

She used all sorts of mediums to share their stories, including Virtual Reality (VR)

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. |
