Welcome to the Garden
We've got growing food!
Central Learning Garden
Our garden:
Even though we cannot be together, we are working on continuing our work in the Learning Garden. The Spring Garden was planted in mid March (see the update below!). It has been a learning process for everyone involved in the Learning Garden - adults included - and we hope to continue teaching and learning about growing your own food in this digital newsletter.

Learning Corner - Germination
When the seeds have been planted, they need to be watered frequently, especially in the first two weeks, to help them germinate. Sunlight creates warmth for the seeds, which will begin to sprout their roots and stems on their way to becoming a seedling.
