Putting the Garden to Bed!   New to the garden this year were doors on the shed, painted by local artist and parent Cindy Stotz, a new arch for supporting grape vines, a new gate, and black and red currant bushes. Also, planted for the first time this year was popcorn!  Students can’t wait to pop the corn in classrooms. Integrating art and environmental science included hanging beautiful, student made flags to help keep the deer out. We hope our garden project and environmental enrichment program will continue for many years.  The benefits of gardening  include building community spirit as well as teaching children the importance of stewardship and sustainability.  We are thankful for the many volunteers that model leadership for UCS students.
