Today a class of 4th grade students visited The Giving Garden. They were ready for some outdoor fun after a week of state testing -- they for sure earned some time in the garden! They were enthusiastic gardeners sowing purple carrots and pole beans in our Great Veggie Adventure bed. Tiny, fragile onions joined the veggie adventure along with brussel sprouts transplants. They added herbs like Thyme, Italian Parsley and Cilantro into our Italian/Indian bed. Big, brown, juicy worms came up from undercover to greet the students, almost as if on cue. After they were all through planting, they enjoyed, and by enjoyed, I mean devoured, a plate of fresh cut veggies with ranch dip. This goes to show that if kids are hungry after working up an appetite, they will eat whatever is before them, including raw veggies like asparagus, snap peas, carrots, red peppers and broccoli. What a fun and nutritious morning!
