The Emeryville children would like to say thank you to all the parents (and grandparents) who came to school to pitch in during our garden work day earlier this month! There was weeding and thinning of the bulb beds, amending and turning the soil in the boxes, transplanting the fragrant herbs into the sensorial garden, building a new child-sized bench, re-staining and varnishing the bridge and picnic tables and benches, cleaning out the tool shed, planting spring vegetable seeds, and building a new bird-and-squirrel resistant screen for one of the vegetable beds! Since then, we have been inspired to plant some more seedlings ourselves in the lower beds!
The new enclosure for the vegetables. We can lift the sides to tend the plants.
Oregano, thyme and rosemary are growing in the sensorial garden.
We are enjoying the new bench under the redwood tree.
Be careful! The varnish is very sticky.
The day wouldn't be complete without a wagon ride.
Now we are planting more seeds!
