We made a visit to the school garden today. We harvested all the potatoes, and check out our first cucumber and okra!

We now have 14 new Junior Master Gardeners and 2 honorable mentions! This great group of students has learned so much this year. Some of their favorite moments from this school year were finding spiders in the garden, planting flower bulbs, building hydroponics projects, making terrariums, having an herb party, and so much more!

🍠Thanks to the Bartow Master Gardeners Association , we have our sweet potato plugs and we are ready to enter the first annual sweet potato contest!

🍠 Did you know sweet potatoes aren’t actually closely related to regular potatoes at all?

🍠Regular potatoes belong to the nightshade family (the same group as tomatoes and eggplants), while sweet potatoes are part of the morning glory family—yes, like the flowering vine 🌸. Botanically speaking, they’re about as related as apples and roses.

We would like to give an 🌱 herbalicious thank you to the Magnolia Garden Club of Cartersville GA for volunteering their time, resources, and knowledge today in garden club. Students learned the history of herbs and about their many uses, and they used their senses to explore various herbs. 👀👃🏼👅✋🏼 Thank you, ladies, for a fun, educational, and delicious afternoon!
