"Putting the Garden to Bed"

Spring gardening is more fun than fall gardening for most people, but some things must be done each year.  The fall clean-up is often called "putting the garden to bed."  Our mild November weather let the third graders finish a lot of end-of-season tasks in and around the pre-k garden.  Third graders raked and bagged leaves; weeded and transplanted strawberries; gathered seeds from cosmos, dill, cilantro, and zinnia plants; picked up trash; pulled up dead plants and composted them; and moved mulch.  The next day, first graders watered the transplanted strawberries. This area of the campus is ready for gardening to begin again next spring!
