Here is how the project went:
It was wonderful and the students had a wonderful time working in the garden and the green house. They enjoyed learning about what fruits and vegetables grow best in our area and being able to see them grow to be used in our cafeteria!
Through this project I/we learned:
That the type of soil will affect how well our garden will grow. Not just the fruits and vegetables, but the flowers as well. We also learned that having a water source near the garden is crucial, so having the rain barrel near the garden is useful (as long as it rains enough)
What I/we might change:
Where we place the garden so that a water source is easier to access!
My/our favorite part of this project was:
Was seeing the children's face light up when they saw all of their hard work come to fruition!
Some tips, tricks or fun facts about the project:
You need to be sure you have a reliable water source to keep plants and fruits and veggies hydrated. I would also not start with seeds and maybe use fruits and plants that are already a little bit grown.We found the seeds initially were harder to keep growing over plants that were already established.
