A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness.
After a few short weeks we already see plants like squash, corn, beans, and radish popping up from the soil. (Radishes are the reliable, and fast sprouters). All this planting took time and volunteers. Thank you to all the classroom volunteers who came out to help. Karie and I really appreciate the parent and teacher support. Believe it or not we planted with every student grades preK-5th grade. The current 5 grade class holds the record for most consecutive years gardening at the Mine. Fantastic.
