School Garden

We have enjoyed visiting the school garden the past few weeks.  We even harvested sunflowers, squash, tomatoes, and a watermelon last week.  The class is also learning about native bees and monitoring their bee condos which hang in the garden.  Next week we look forward to making sunflower feeders for the birds to enjoy.
