Planting an Apple Tree
Students from DLC had a wonderful hands-on learning experience this week! They welcomed a new apple tree to the campus, learning exactly how to plant it and what it takes to help it grow and thrive. It was a fantastic lesson in nature and responsibility that our students will get to watch grow for years to come.

For our young gardeners, the true joy lies in the journey aheadâthe patient, daily observation of watching their hard work transform from tiny sprouts into a flourishing landscape of color and texture.

Today, one of our students and our resident comfort dog braved the chill to see how the Climate Resilient Garden is holding up under its thick blanket of snow. At first glance, the garden looks like itâs in a deep winter slumber; most of the beds are quiet, and the typical greenery is nowhere to be seen.
But nature always has a trick up its sleeve.
