What an exciting gardening week we have just had at Chatham Day School! Every class, from preschool through 4th Grade helped me plant seedlings - we discussed where seeds come from, what they need to grow and how to care and nurture them at this tender stage. As I write, we have cucumber, sunflower, pea and bean seedlings already sprouting on various sunny windowsills in elementary classrooms. We are waiting patiently on peppers, chillies, pumpkin, yellow zucchini, acorn squash and sweetcorn to germinate.
