Summer vacation’s here and I’m catching up on ideas I meant to write about during the school year, like our school garden! The kids work closely with their classroom and science teachers to plant, weed and harvest from the various planters that have been tucked in around the school.
This vertical planter is on the stairwell on the way up to the rooftop play area:
These box planters have drop down plastic covers to protect them from errant basketballs:
Do your kids garden at home or at school? What do you grow?

My kids’ school has a partnership with an organic farm, so they grow many things. It’s Alaska, so in the winter the garden’s not active, but the kids start seeds, plant, work the garden in the summer, and harvest and do garden science until the end of September (when the snow starts). Anyone looking for a great model to start school gardens should check them out. http://www.calypsofarm.org/
