Last year our a "school improvement project" was completed, and the landscape is a muddy mess. There are areas where the grass they planted did not grow, or grew, and then did not make it. Not only is it good for students to learn about the subjects, it is also good for the school grounds to be used in that way. Thanks for showing this to us.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-34861102723194267922011-05-23T12:52:05.408-04:002011-05-23T12:52:05.408-04:00That's a fantastic thing for a school to do.That's a fantastic thing for a school to do.The JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10860982258621823529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-26379068942028543142011-05-22T12:29:01.521-04:002011-05-22T12:29:01.521-04:00That's way cool!

In high school kids have exposure to 4H, but not at all schools.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-17841608153884089452011-05-22T11:12:16.511-04:002011-05-22T11:12:16.511-04:00Seriously - what an awesome and amazing thing to b...Seriously - what an awesome and amazing thing to be including in a high school curriculum!! This is something that could really open eyes and change the way kids think about food, resources, etc - not to mention to give them all one more option when it comes to feeding themselves and answering some of the big questions - how do I want to live, what kinds of choices do I want to make, etc. Not to mention potential careers - people do grow up to be farmers, landscapers, nursery owners, BBG staff, etc!<br /><br />We need more programs like this one. How great they are doing it at all - thanks for sharing this inspiring and hopeful post, Mimi!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947997585334958395.post-1422200118995296752011-05-21T12:01:23.484-04:002011-05-21T12:01:23.484-04:00What a fabulous program.
