This past weekend we invited students and families to come explore the Red Hawk garden. After being planted by the students in the late Spring, the garden has really taken off! It is amazing to see all of the growing plants and to begin tasting the different vegetables that were grown in the classrooms.
On Sunday, July 15th and Monday, July 16th, families were invited to check out how far the garden has come and to participate in some hands-on learning activities. Students planted a butterfly garden using mostly Colorado native plants which will attract very important pollinators to our garden. We also planted a sensory garden, which is a garden filled with plants that teach us about our five senses. The plants either have an interesting smell, touch, taste, or look. We will use this garden during the school year to help us make observations about different plants.
In addition to helping plant these gardens, students helped make plant markers for the garden and were able to plant sunflower seeds in pots to take home. We had a great time hunting for giant zucchinis and tasting fresh lettuce! Thanks to everyone who came out!
