APRIL GARDEN NEWS:
Klaus (Lily's father) and Andy (Oscar's father) built a sturdy new fence for the ICNS school garden. It hasn't been painted yet but you can see how nice this will be for our children. Summer plants like tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, squash, and maybe even some flowers will be going into the garden beds over the next few weeks.
Also, we've begun the "smelling garden" in the play area-- herbs and scented plants in containers. We hope to organize more of these small, moveable gardens around sensory themes (like touching, smelling, tasting, colors). We could use donations of pots and/or soil for this endeavor.
Please feel entirely welcome to visit the school gardens, and even bring the children out for simple activities (you can play with animals, sing songs, etc-- it doesn't just have to be gardening!). Also, thanks to all of you who have been using the school composter. We will have some wonderful material with which to enrich our planting beds. When you coop don't forget that all plant materials (like fruit and veggie waste) can go in there, as well as leaves, eggshells, and even paper (ripped into small pieces). Kids should be able to separate out their compostable waste if you tell them what it is!
Happy Spring!
Emma (Oscar's mom), on behalf of the ICNS Garden Committee
