I am exploring the possibility of creating a learning garden at our school. Currently there is a large asphalt play yard with typical playground equipment at our school. It is very traditional. But it could be beautiful. It turns out there are a lot of other school gardens in Seattle. But there is not a great central resource for it. And there does not seem to be documentation for creating one. The district sent me their general info packet. One page says (Add list of school gardens).
The journey begins with a step. I have started to contact and connect with interested parties at the school. A teacher that I would really like to work with on this project. Another parent that may be interested. It will grow, slowly, like a little fragile seedling adding sunshine (community) and water (ideas).
The key to success is to build it for the children, teachers, and community. Let's get started.
