2nd Grade Garden Recap
5/4/2025 10:25 pm
Second grade garden lessons were sunny and amazing! These kids sure know how to clear out a garden bed. The lesson began in the outdoor classroom where PTSA parent bee experts led some discussion on mason bees and why pollination is so important. The classes then walked over and observed their garden beds that they planted in fall. There were tulips and daffodils, rosemary, violas and many weeds. The kids got to harvest a beautiful bouquet for their teacher and then cleared the bed for summer plantings of sunflowers and dahlias. Feel free to check on the growth this summer. Great work kiddos!
Interested in being part of the garden committee next year? Please reach out to Co-Chairs Kristen Kissinger and Sarah Joos, at garden@peterkirkptsa.org.
