First Day at Campbell Park

Today at Campbell Park Elementary it was our first Edible Peace Patch class with the first graders. Many of them had been to the garden before when they were in kindergarten so they were very excited to come back out to the Edible Peace Patch. My group and I started by asking them what they thought the rules of the garden should be, and they were all very excited to give ideas such as "no touching the plants without asking" and "no picking the plants until they are fully grown." Then, we separated into four smaller groups to talk more about the garden and what the students wanted to grow. We gave them a work sheet where they walked around the garden and wrote down what they heard, felt, saw, and smelled. This was their first chance to interact with the garden and think about how being in the garden affected all of their senses. Today was really great to get to know the students and I look forward to them learning more about the garden and planting food.
