The Apple School Garden is here. It has been quite the journey but we are so excited to introduce our first crop that we are growing: The Tomato! We are growing Beef master Tomato’s and Cherry Tomato’s this season as our introduction into gardening and this beautiful spring season. Every class has their own section to tend to and they are all color coordinated to fit each classroom! The kids have been watering the plants 3 times per week and have been monitoring the process of growth each time they visit the garden with Alex! The kids have been excited to see the final product and can’t wait to bite into something that they are growing themselves! We are so thankful to our amazing parents Ira and James (Natalie’s parents) who helped create the garden with us and have been incredible every step of the way. Ira, James, and Sasha have put in a lot of effort in creating this garden that will benefit our awesome Apple School children now and for years to come. We are so excited for the creation of the Apple School Garden knowing that it will not only be beneficial in the our school’s approach to knowledge on nature and sustainability but it also creates a bond of growth between the plants we grow and the philosophy of our school “Give us a seed, we will grow an apple”.
