A Day On and In the Garden to Celebrate Dr. King

 

Students and families and staff of Orville Wright alongside community members came out on MLK Day to work in the garden.  Together we prepared many of the beds in the student garden, mulched and ended the day with a big planting.  Throughout the morning, we collected seeds from plants, painted new signs and  learned a new method of planting using triangulation that maximizes how much we can grow.  Jeanine Geisregan, an OW parent and master gardener, demonstrated how to compost for us. It was a joyful, energetic day.  We posted our favorite quotes from Dr. King on ribbons that we hung on the fence for our community to read.  Our next work day is February 4.
