Jicama, jicama, hooray! We taught our very first garden
Our new Garden Educator put all their hard work planning and
prepping into play with a special introductory lesson to
gardening and growing your own food.
In their first lesson, students learned about safety, established
group agreements, and began identifying some common language and
tools used in gardening.
At the end of their lesson, students had the opportunity to do a
produce tasting featuring jicama. Our team saw lots of smiles and
heard many kids shout out, “Wow, this is really good!”
Lessons are currently provided for students at Leataata
Elementary School in their outdoor school garden, where they can
experience the outdoors and do hands-on gardening.
