plans on continuing to enhance their Garden by involving students from grades Kindergarten to 4th grade. Kindergarten will learn how to plant seeds and the basics needs of plants. grade 1 will learn about
invertebrates in the garden, how to plant bulbs, and how to care for plants. grade 2 will learn the
life cycles of the garden, integrated pest management, the characteristics of good soil, how to prepare soil for planting,
and the butterflies need specific host plants as food for their caterpillars. grade 3 will learn about
the water cycles in the garden, the difference between fruits and vegetables, and how to care for these plants. grade 4 will learn how to harvest the garden, about what greens in a salad, how to clean a garden at the end of the
season, composting, and uses for herbs.
Kings Elementary School plans to also continuing to enhance their garden by involving
students from grades Kindergarten to 5th grade. They will teach the students through the garden such classes as Life Science,

We received a note of thanks for a mini-grant from Donna Jones
at the Roherstown Elementary School along with this picture of the students. Looks
like they are “growing” a lot of future gardeners.
