Fourth Class Gardening Project Jan.-Sep.2012
Ms Maher´s class (with some help from Mr. Ring´s) started the gardening project back in January with the construction of two raised beds. After lots of hard work in the springtime, some new potatoes were harvested and eaten before the holidays. We were worried about who would water the plants during July and August but we were delighted when we came back to school at the end of August to discover that the plentiful summer rainfall had produced a bumper crop of vegetables (carrots, lettuce and peas).
