This past week was school spirit week at Avicenna Academy. It was perfect timing as it was also the most beautiful week of the year thus far! Some of our junior high students made their way out to the garden site to take some measurements for some work they'll be doing as part of their math class.
And, some students have taken advantage of the beautiful weather and begun painting our tires (for use in our sweet potato towers) and restoring an old tool shed on the property.
Students in fourth grade and below will begin growing seeds in their classes so that we may transfer the plants to our garden once the time is right. Meanwhile, I met with master gardener, Monica, from GrowNWI who let me know that once we ask the town of Merrillville to come and dump compost, they can till it in for us. We also had a nice, long conversation about composting.
There's a lot of work to be done, but I'm so happy at the way things are falling into place!
And, just this morning I received an email with this link in it: Garden of Hope
