Involve your students in this process of preparing the soil. Consult with your gardening partners to determine how to develop your garden. Check with your gardening partners about how to transplant seedings and the care involved in tending a garden. Identify your crops. Place markers in the soil to identify each crop as it is planted.
Students can create markers in art class, while seedlings are germinating indoors.
Working the garden. Plan class time for students to tend the garden. It is important to promote your event throughout the community. This can help you attract volunteers and gain media coverage of your school garden. See the section on Promoting and Publicizing Your Event for suggestions and sample materials.
