ESY Summer Garden Care
The high schools students that attend the Extended School Year program at Battle Hill have been helping to maintain the Garden of Knowledge until the students return in September. They weeded, mowed the lawn, and placed the clippings in the composter. They are looking forward to coming over in September to help the elementary students with their harvest.
Keeping the Plants Watered
Students have been watering the sensory garden on a daily basis with this heat.
July Update: Growing and Learning in Our Preschool Raised Bed Garden
Our raised bed garden continues to thrive this summer! Throughout the month of July, the preschoolers enrolled in the summer program, along with the support of their teachers, have been working hard to take care of the plants. The children water the garden daily, help pull out weeds, and enjoy observing the growth of the vegetables and flowers.
So far, we have seen exciting progress! Many of the plants have grown taller and stronger, and some vegetables are starting to sprout. The students are learning about the life cycle of plants, the importance of sunlight and water, and how to care for living things.
The garden has become a special part of our summer routine, giving our preschoolers a hands-on learning experience that connects them to nature. We look forward to continuing our work in August and celebrating our first harvest soon!
We Are Growing!
Thank you so much, Union County! We have green beans, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes. We picked radishes, carrots and lettuce already!
