There was perfect weather for yesterday's Grade 2 field trip! Students learned that Gaining Ground is an organic, no-till farm that donates all of its food to help fight food insecurity here in Massachusetts. To help support this mission, students moved compost into garden beds so that spinach could be planted later. They also worked together to shovel, carry, dump, and spread the compost. Afterward, they got a tour of the farm and were able to try cilantro and apples straight from the source. Their teachers noted that many hands made for light work and that all students had a wonderful time in the gardens.
