The garden
A walk through the garden
Four corners, each with its own work. Children move between them with a guide beside them.
The raised beds
Low beds sized for small arms. Children sow, thin and water, and learn which green leaf is lettuce and which is a weed.
Peas, lettuce, kale and beans
Tomatoes and squash for summer
The harvest table
Baskets come to the table, and children wash what they picked and set it out for snack.
Picking, washing and sharing
Seeds saved in labeled envelopes
The leaf and compost corner
Leaves are raked into a pile, jumped in, and then forked into the compost. By spring the pile is soil.
Raking and carrying
Watching the pile change over the winter
The garden gate
The garden is fenced and has one gate. Boots on, a guide opens it, and the children go through together.
Boots and hats at the door
A headcount in and a headcount out
