Harvesting is fun and tasting is delicious

Wilson students are back in the garden. Under the supervision of me, Kirsten Stilgenbauer, Alisha Molloy and Jennifer Donnellan the kids successfully and happily harvested the summer produce (tomatoes, summer squash, basil, pumpkins, water melon, eggplants, carrots sunflowers, lettuce seeds) 














and seeded the fall beds.




Many kids for the first time tried some of the veggies that they always believed to be not interesting to them. They found them surprisingly super delicious.


With the help of the teachers they learned all about corn, pollination, composting, plants needs, good and bad insects, wildlife visitors and more.


This fall the class involved in the Wilson school garden are 1st grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade. The 6th grade will be taking care of composting.
