Nutrition in the gardens

October is Harvest Month.  It is the focus of our garden program.  Harvest begins the first week of October with pressing and drying flowers.  Next comes the 2nd grade digging the sweet potato patch. It culminates around October 31 with the harvest parties.   All of the classes can   At the end of the month, what is not used for the harvest parties is harvested and donated to the food pantry.  Each year we will find more innovative ways to connect the harvest to the curriculum.
