Summer Garden

Last year, Wattsburg Elementary Center got a grant to start a community garden.  The Wattsburg Growing Garden club was started.  In year one here are a few of the highlights:

• Built 3 cold frames
• Built a pop bottle green house
• Built/constructed 5 raised beds
• Got some cherry tomatoes and other produce on the school salad bar
• Grant from Tractor Supply to get us started
• Generous parent volunteers gave soil, time, lumber, and more!

Year 2 was an opportunity to improve on year 1.  First, the pre-planting went SO MUCH BETTER.  There was a clear plan to the garden and planting.  

Today, we harvested bush beans, snap peas, arugula, and a huge zucchini.  

Here are some pictures of our garden!

Watch for updates as we grow, pick, and expand our community garden!
