Garden Explorers!


    Sixth graders spent the day exploring the pleasure garden at Chanticleer on Friday as part of our investigation into sustainable gardening practices.   Scott took us around the back of the operations to see how the gardeners create compost, and Emma shared the secrets to a delicious edible garden.  After a picnic in the grove, we created PEACE FLAGS to adorn our pen pals' garden, and explored Chanticleer with a sense of wonder and curiosity. 
    When we returned from Chanticleer, we transplanted some of our classroom seedlings into larger containers.   Thank you, SCA, for your generous grant which encourages us all to grow more eco-conscious, and thanks to the gardener-artists at Chanticleer for inspiring us to grow beautiful things!
