Interview!

Today we interviewed Anna Downing. We asked her some questions like, do you like this crew, what don't you like about it, and what would you you change. Some of answers were, I like this crew, but I don't like the worm pee. I like this crew because I like plants and I like to water. She would also choose to stay in this group because she thinks it the most funnest group of all the groups.

AMS Community Garden Planting!!

Today, we went out into the garden and planted some seeds. Before we could start, Christian and Ryder had to level out the garden beds, Jodecy had to water them very little, Jaedyn and Rose got out the seeds, and Saihan labeled popsicle sticks. After they were done, we measured to plant the seeds. Once we were done picking and planting, we watered again. Hope you come out to see our plants grow!!

What the crews are doing!

   This week, in the Environmental Science Class 2, each crew is doing something different.
The Window Garden Crew is watering the window garden and our outside garden, and weeding the garden pathways. The Plant Care Crew is redoing  the planters. The Worm Crew is planning for a food collection for our worms today. The Garden Crew has to finish the display board for our garden. The Leftover Crew is finishing the filling up of beds and mixing soils.

Six Weeks Pallet Projects

   This six weeks, we had to make a project out of pallets. Some of those were lawn chairs, coat hangers, a chair and a floor bed. Here are some pictures of their projects......

Raised Garden Beds

   In the A.M.S Community Garden, we are making raised garden beds also called garden boxes. They are great for growing small plots of veggies and flowers. These beds help the prevention of soil compaction, keeping pathway weeds from garden soil, providing good drainage, and they serve as a barrier to pests such as slugs and snails. Raised Garden Beds not only help gardeners plant earlier in the season, it also helps keep valuable garden soil from being eroded or washed away by heavy rains.

   We hope you take up our advice and make raised garden beds in your own garden!!
