Woolly School Garden


     Here at the A.M.S Community Garden, we are in the process of hanging up Woolly Pockets. Last year in 2011, we raised 1,000 dollars thanks to the generous donations. Woolly Pockets save a lot of space in gardens because their only15x 24ft.Each bundle of pockets, each have a zone of different vegetables. For example Zone 8 the fall/winter design has: 2 Nasturtium's, 2 Marigold, 2 Green Onions, two Carrots, and Nasturtium's. These pockets can be stored indoor or outdoor! Not only do these pockets hang easily, they also have smart watering, automatic watering, and self watering. They also protect walls, have strong, healthy roots, and are 100% Eco-friendly! We love using Woolly School Garden Pockets and hope you do too!!

Papercrete


   Yesterday morning, the Curry's came over and helped Environmental Science Class one and two make papercrete. We made it by getting shredded paper, then putting the paper into buckets and filling the bucket with water. We then stirred for at least ten minutes. Next we put in three bags of mortar mix, and stirred it until it was well blended. Then we poured it into sections of six and we let it dry over night. Now we have papercrete blocks. If you ever want to make papercrete blocks there's the steps on how to do it. We hope you have fun and enjoy making them!!!

Remodeling AMS Community Garden

The A.M.S Community Garden is remodeling for the new Spring Season. We are removing the fences and putting them farther away for more garden space. We are making new garden beds and working on our outdoor classroom. We are taking out old/dead plants and planting new ones. All this hard work and dedication will soon pay off when we have our beautiful and healthy garden!!
