I went with my family to the Long Island Children’s Museum yesterday (awesome place, we were there for five hours), and took this photograph of a vegetable patch in their backyard. Does anyone know the reason why marigolds (those yellow flowers at the border of the box) are planted near vegetables?
The students constructed a new garden walk way at 721K.
Thanks Greg Heath.
Thanks Maryellen Rice!
Check out the “sub-irrigated planters!”
Thanks, Greg Heath
Thanks, Siobhain Bowen
Writes Siobhan Bowen:
“The outside photos are my class and Mr. Kottlamp’s class working together in our garden. Mr. Kottkamp’s class is amazing and worked with my class teaching them how to compost, build the plant beds, and take care of the garden”
Siobhain Bowen’s students are comparing what grows faster: plants in sunlight or those under the grow lamps she has set up in the classroom.
This just in from Makini Velazquez of 94M:
FYI, schools can get FREE compost and mulch through the Department of Sanitation and BIG! NYC. At first they wanted us to pick up, but in the end they delivered to my school garden! Forms and instructions are below.
