Getting Ready for Winter
As the days get shorter, we see the end of our vegetables, but our flowers are as vibrant as ever! It’s time to prepare for winter! Thank you, Union County, for your help. It was a very good year!

Preparing the Garden for Winter
The students used the left over bales of hay and corn stalks from our pumpkin patch to prepare the beds for winter. They covered the beds with the hay. We also put up our new garden sign.




End of Season Update:
While the garden season is coming to a close, we still have bell peppers, swiss chard and sweet peppers growing beautifully! Our melons and tomatoes had a great season, and we can’t wait to plant them again next season!




Students visited the beautiful PISC garden where they learned about all the different plants that are currently being grown!
