I plan to have garden days this summer and involve some home schoolers who want to learn how to garden, as well as students from this school. We also get seeds from various sources that offer them free. Burpee has kits that they send to schools. I have tried sending letters home to parents to get support and so far in the past 5 years it has not worked. My problem is that the school is isolated.
Every student has to ride a bus to school because our district is so spread out.
So we plant our crops in the spring and leave it when school is out. I would like to find ways to keep the garden growing and producing during the summer. I live 50 miles away from school, but I would drive out there if I could get parents to bring the kids - after all it is the kids garden. I welcome all ideas of how to handle this problem. What a veteran.
