5th Grade Working in the Secret Garden

The 5th graders wanted to fix up the Secret Garden, so we weeded and planted some flowers this week.  First we figured out what was a weed v. a wanted plant.  Then they worked hard pulling the unwanted weeds.  We all now have a strong dislike for dandelions!  Then the students planted several different shade-loving annuals.  There were also a few areas where students prepared the soil and sowed seeds.  We are excited to see the fruits of our labors over the next few weeks.
