Winter Brings Garden Science

3-13-09 resized

In honor of the sixth year of our Garden Science, we've chosen six third and fourth grade classes from local elementary schools to participate in our comprehensive garden-based environmental science and nutrition education program. For eight weeks, WYG staff and volunteers conduct weekly interactive lessons that cover topics from plant parts to pollination to the origins of our food. With the use of a grow rack and light that we bring to each classroom, students grow their own plants and learn how to care for them. See pictures and keep up with our activities through our weekly blog posts.
