This morning, the town of Merrillville delivered two truckloads of beautiful, nutrient-rich compost to the site of our Garden of Hope. It was a gorgeous, crisp morning so many of our students gathered around what I'm now calling Mount Compost to talk about what compost is and how compost happens. They were able to see the final product of composting while also catching a glimpse (and whiff) of the recently started compost bin we have near our colorful tool shed.
And, most of the seeds we planted last week have already begun sprouting! The students were very happy to see this.
