Resilience in the school garden
The school garden was under 6 feet of water back in July. Our Agriculture classes have been working hard to clean up and rebuild.
We will be able to use some of the (very resilient) crops that survived the flooding; such as garlic, corn, carrots, amaranth, tomatoes, and ground cherries; as seed for next year.
Luckily, we grew produce in a new permaculture garden behind the bus barn that Josie Cross designed for her Stewardship Action Project in the spring. We have been making zucchini bread, salsa, kale chips, and zucchini tots with the produce.
