Finally, we have our first community garden plots happening. While waiting for all the materials for the final build of the community garden, the Emerson Avenue Community Garden Club is allowing community members who have demonstrated a commitment of time and labor through volunteering to grow in temporary plots this winter and spring. Come see what is growing!
We just marked our 3rd annual Martin Luther King Day of Service in the garden on Monday, January 21. Thank you community members, students and families who came out to help the garden. OW students mulched and planted wild flower seeds in the student garden.
While garden club continues Friday during lunch for OW students, Ms. Cohen is working with the YS program to offer a garden enrichment program for students after school on Fridays . Students will have an opportunity to design their garden beds, learn different planting methods and participate in workshops with guest speakers on worm composting, native plants, bird and tree identification and enjoy fun projects to use all this great learning.
