When the garden was first being planned to be a shared green space for the school and the community, having a place to gather in the garden with seating was a priority. It is important for teachers to have a place to host their classroom outside, an outdoor alternative that could be used for literature circles, journal writing, dramatic performances, poetry reading, etc. After school and on weekends, it could be a place for the community to use.
With guidance from Robert Redecker of Earthworks Natural Building, the outdoor classroom was designed with urbanite (recycled concrete) as a base and capped with cob ( a natural building medium made of straw, clay and sand). This year long project is nearly done. Come join us Saturday, February 9, as we work together to finish it.
