Do you like playing in the dirt? 🌱 Our team is in search of garden volunteers. Hours and days are flexible. Reach out to Krista; [email protected] if you’re interested.

I’m going to miss our 6th graders SO, SO much! They have been such incredible helpers all year long. Why do they grow up so fast?! 🥹🦋

Our 3rd graders enjoyed a wonderful party to celebrate their year in the garden 🎉💗

A little STEM work in the garden as we learn about all our creature neighbors and how to coexist 🐿️

Our amazing garden dads, Joe & Jon were at it again! They harvested potatoes with our sweet kinder students last week. So much fun and smiles all around! 💗🥔😍

One of our first harvests due to our pesky squirrels! Our TK students harvested garlic and then we made yummy garlic toasts…best lesson of the year 🧄👨‍🍳🍞💗

Happy 🌎🌱Day! Celebrate in nature today 💜

A little Spring Break magic happening in the garden! ✨🐛🦎💐

Our fave Garden Dads brought a little sunshine on this rainy day to our amazing kinder students. Who doesn’t love a pinwheel?! 💓

Today, 1st grade added to our new Kindness Garden. They created mini masterpieces that truly captured the spirit of our fundraiser! 💜

We had another wonderful week completing Acts of Kindness and helping beautify the garden! A huge shout out to RCP Block & Brick for donating rocks.

I adore my TK crew! Not only are they the cutest and sweetest bunch, they LOVE learning in the garden. Their wonder and love for our garden fills my bucket every time!

What a fun unit on birds these last few weeks. We learned that habitat loss is the number one reason for the decline in population for our feathered friends. 🦅🦆🦜🦉

Our PTA is an integral part to the success of our school garden. Please join us this evening at 5:45 pm for our 2nd Association meeting of the school year. 💙🧡

Lots of fun in the garden today learning about plant adaptations. Our kids loved tasting butternut squash soup and creating their own imaginary plant species with super cool traits.

Happy Winter Soltice! A perfect day to teach students about the seasons ❄️

Keeping this garden running is a HUGE labor of love. I’m so appreciative of the handful of volunteers who came out to support the work we do. THANK YOU 🥰 Before and after pics coming soon!

Come on out to our Community garden Day from 9-1 pm today. We’d love to play in the dirt with you!

Our annual community garden day is quickly approaching. We'd love to see all our friends and families join us for the event!

We love Miss Regina! She had a great time with Mrs.Cox’s 2nd grade class learning about worms and doing a fun STEM activity. Garden time is the best time!💗🌱

Mrs.Garcia’s class had a great first trip to the garden today with Mr. Joe & Mr. Jon. We have the best parent volunteers that get students excited about nature and the world around us! 🌎🪱🌱

Some seed humor 😉

Sixth graders helping take measurements and test our soil. They’re always excited to help out in the garden! 💜

Fun with 1st graders this morning. Diving in deeper with seeds. So many critters today too!

Today we started lessons and had a blast! Our awesome 6th grade students transformed the space by weeding, composting, and collecting seeds. So excited for this school year! 💙🌱

Happy last day of school sweet Mustangs! It’s been beyond wonderful to be back in the garden with all our students. High fives to summer and I can’t wait to get back at it in August 🥰🌱

I 💜 my 2nd graders! They are always excited, engaged, and ready to play in the dirt. A great morning was had by all! 🤩

Huge shout out to our incredible garden docents Sarah & Nate for the knowledge they shared with our 6th graders this year! They always created the best lessons, we appreciate you so much! 💗

5th graders wrapped up the year with parties in the garden. We played, painted, replanted, and got the garden ready for summer. Garden time is the best time! 🥰🥳

We finished up garden lessons this week learning about our pollinator friends and how to protect them. These kids LOVE learning outdoors and playing in the dirt. My heart is full from all the fun times we shared this year! 🪱🐝🐞🦋

We’ve found something our neighbor squirrels won’t devour…bell peppers and jalapeños for the win 🥳. Our 5th graders had a blast learning about preying mantis and honey bees last week too! 🐝

Lots of fun with insects today! 🐞🌍🐛

Happy Earth Day everyone! Get out in nature today & play 🌎🌍💜

Our big kids love ladybugs too 💜. Watch out aphids, our ladybugs are coming for you!

Nothing sparks a love for nature like hanging out in the garden with the cutest insects! 💗🐞 Mrs.Mitchell’s class had lots of fun this morning.

Another beautiful day in the garden learning all about ladybugs 🐞🐞🐞

Our 2nd graders have had a blast the last 2 weeks doing our squirrel STEM challenge. Their creativity amazes me every day! 🥰🐿
