This fall, we are offering an after school garden club for students at Red Hawk. We decided to offer it on Thursdays after school and we have 40 participants! On the first day of Garden Club, students helped weed the garden, plant lettuce and kale, and designed drafts for a large entrance sign to the garden.
The following week, we harvested cherry tomatoes (enough for every kid to take a small bag home...or eat them instantly!), weeded and planted, painted the actual garden sign and made individual garden banners that will hang on the fence for the rest of the year.
Garden club will continue until October 6. We are looking forward to watching the change of the season in the garden and learning all about cool season crops.
