Description: Edison’s organic garden is a hands-on place to apply lessons and have real-life experiences that get kids excited about learning. Visits to the garden teach absorbing lessons about observation and investigation, life cycles, problem-solving, recycling and teamwork. Students visit the garden for a new lesson each month, with topics as varied as chickens, intercropping, soil ph level and weather measurements. Along the way, they plant crops, pull and compost weeds, amend soil, harvest crops and eat and share vegetables and herbs they’ve grown themselves.
For 2023-2024, we will initially be focusing on the following areas:
- Lunch/Recess volunteers to help open the garden during recess time and let the children explore and work on the garden.
- Volunteers to help with monthly lessons with your child's class. Our garden instructor will need your assistance to help chaperon the kids from classroom to garden. Also help to keep the kids energy focus on garden lessons.
- Come join one of our monthly garden clean-ups. We take care of a lot of the things that aren't great for the kids to do and make the garden a great place for all of our children!
