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.<br>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.<br>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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignfull has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1694\" src=\"https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7946.jpeg-1-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1694\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7946.jpeg-1-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7946.jpeg-1-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7946.jpeg-1-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7946.jpeg-1-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7946.jpeg-1-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7946.jpeg-1-1200x2133.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7946.jpeg-1-1980x3520.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7946.jpeg-1-scaled.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"1691\" src=\"https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7941.jpeg-1-576x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1691\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7941.jpeg-1-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7941.jpeg-1-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7941.jpeg-1-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7941.jpeg-1-864x1536.jpg 864w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7941.jpeg-1-1152x2048.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7941.jpeg-1-1200x2133.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7941.jpeg-1-1980x3520.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7941.jpeg-1-scaled.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"1692\" src=\"https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7942.jpeg-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7942.jpeg-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7942.jpeg-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7942.jpeg-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7942.jpeg-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7942.jpeg-1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7942.jpeg-1-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/ucnj.org\/plant-a-seed-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/37\/2025\/07\/img_7942.jpeg-1-1980x1114.jpg 1980w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elizabeth July Update: Growing and Learning in Our Preschool Raised Bed Garden Our raised bed garden continues to thrive this summer!
