We DID it!!! Today we harvested 27 pounds of produce, bringing our yearlong total to 602 pounds!!!! The best part is we still have the rest of June and July to grow more delicious food for our community!
A huge thanks to Beech Hill Elementary for supporting this mission and creating a culture of care and respect for our school gardens!
We would not be so successful if it wasn't for the support of Katie's Krops who provides not only financial assistance but, more importantly, the educational resources that help us problem-solve in the gardens.
While our students provide incredible TLC to our gardens, the soil is definitely the magic "sauce" that helps our plants. If you haven't tried Soil³, give them a shot. You will thank us later.
Lastly, Bonnie Plants donates their incredible seedlings to our school and provides the best start to our bountiful harvest!
It takes a village, and we are so fortunate to partner with great companies and organizations that allow us to pay it forward to our community!
