It is June 9, 2011, and this blog is being started to help all the wonderful people who have offered to help out in our school garden. Our garden has informally been called a "giving garden," so I've chosen to name the blog exactly that.
The school year presented lots of opportunities for the kids and teachers to get in the garden and help out. Lyn Colleen Streck, our outstanding science teacher and garden creator, made this part of the 1-4 curriculum. The 2010-11 school year included the addition of Teaching Assistant, Holly Williams, herself a Master Gardener in Durham County. What more could we want.
The Garden Committee is done for the school year, but we have a good-size group that has offered to tend the garden. This blog will allow all of us to keep up to date on the schedule for garden care and to update others as to what is happening in the garden. As we know a garden never sleeps--something is always going on.
I welcome all of you (as well as others who might visit) to share any of your own gardening stories. We share this love of working and tending gardens, and part of this delight is in telling about the small delights that take place day to day.
So, as I 'launch' this blog, I invite you all to take part this summer in our very own GIVING GARDEN.
Happy Gardening!
