Integrating the Garden into School, Fall 2014

The first three weeks of school have been beautiful in the garden. Students have harvested tomatoes, onions, garlic, peppers, delicata squash and carrots from the raised beds. Next week many of these vegetables will be used in our school cafeteria for MAINE HARVEST LUNCH WEEK. Teachers are integrating the garden into their curriculum in many ways. The pictures below tell the story of the FES Learning Garden, September 2014.
