Join us in the garden
Join us in our Mineral Point School Garden at the elementary! So far, there is spinach and lettuce for anyone to stop by and harvest.
Enjoy the sensory flowers and plants the kindergarteners planted. 1st Graders put together a spaghetti garden. 2nd graders planted fresh herbs. The 3rd grade class planted pollinators. A three sisters garden was planted by the 4th grade classes. 5th graders planted a salsa garden.
The sign-up link is open to anyone who would like to help care for the garden: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4CADAC23A5F4C43-school
Looking good!
