Our garden program would not be possible without the support and help of parents in the PTA. If you’re able to help me out for a few hours next year during our spring and fall cleanups, please let me know. No gardening experience necessary, just a willingness to … Meet me at the garden!
Those are words I love to say to my students in May and June. I’m so grateful that we have the OPS garden. It’s a great place for students to learn about plants and animals. Each grade has a section with a theme. This year, first graders made butterfly nectar and put it out in their pollinator-friendly garden. Second graders planted flowers that should make some interesting seeds, since they’ve been learning about that lately. Third graders planted tomato, pepper and basil plants in a pizza garden. Fourth graders learned Native American traditions this year, so they planted corn, beans and squash in a Three Sisters garden like the Lenape. Fifth graders took care of their colonial herb garden, connecting to their social studies curriculum. Sixth graders planted wildflowers that I’ll give to next year’s Kindergarteners as a welcome gift.
