![]() Wow ! Busy Week! I'm working a full day at the school now and so things are changing a lot. Throughout the summer it was just me doing my thing, planting, tending, observing and maintaining , but the garden is there for the kids and the teachers and the staff and I'm in a position to promote it. Valle Crucis is a great school with a diverse group of kids and some amazing teachers and staff members and each day I'm meeting more and more of them. Whenever I can, I suggest heading down to check out our "Secret Garden" The door has been unlocked and I have a preliminary sign on the door. We have some nice weather still ahead of us so I'm hoping to increase use and awareness of a really cool garden. Met Sawyer, the aftercare director and I plan to do a afternoon of garden activities with any of his interested kids. Dropped of some nice potted tomatillos for Sarah Herman's Pre-k garden and we are hoping to get some fall lettuce going and some "fast track" red cabbage. The "Little Diggers" spot has some beautiful pumpkins, kale, tomatoes, cosmos, and jumbo sun flowers. Sarah Bohn and Lindsey Postelwaite are the new AIG and art teacher respectively. Trying to work with them to do some fun projects. Can we get a mural done on the side of the oil tank? Keep you posted.
