Gardening has more to offer than just succulent vegetables.
This is a call for a new educational paradigm that embraces the culture and environment in which Whitman is placed. The Walla Walla valley has been blessed with rich soil, frequent rains, and a relatively mild climate, perfect for gardens and farms. We have the responsibility to recognize this educational opportunity and seek out the knowledge that lies in the land. Crop rotation, biological pest control, and non-toxic weed management will be researched and practiced. Members of the class have the responsibility to design and follow a schedule of duties, planting, and harvest.
