November 03 Where Seeds and Stories Meet
What started as a research project to fix our school garden transformed into an awesome, hands-on outdoor adventure! Our school had a beautiful garden until COVID hit, leaving it in need of some major care. Our students researched and wrote a grant to get the materials needed to bring it back to life.
From there, the ideas just kept growing. Students created a custom Garden App and a Seed Library so kids could take seeds home to grow their own fruits and vegetables. Then, instead of building a traditional outdoor classroom, we decided to create a reading garden. Students sketched out their biggest ideas, and a team of high school mentors and adult experts came in to teach them how to build a real cottage from the ground up. Now, it’s an incredible place where you can relax in hammocks, hang out in forts, read your favorite books, and discover the magic hidden in the garden.
