My Project

My students have LOVED growing a classroom garden this year. They have planted vegetables and flowers from seed, harvested the fresh veggies to eat in class, and learned how to keep seeds from their plants for future growing.

They would like to expand their garden to include a birdbath, a sundial, and a weathervane.

We are starting to learn about the sun and we have watched our sunflowers track the sun during the day. This led students to comment that the sunflowers were like a clock, which led to a discussion about sundials. They would love to install a sundial and compare it to the path our sunflowers follow during the day. Students have also been intrigued by birdbaths and would like to have a simple one close to our plants to see if it will encourage birds to visit our garden. (We have several bird enthusiasts in our class!). I would also like to use the handle weathervane to introduce the topic of wind and weather to the garden habitat.

We also have a few other items added in like a trellis for our vining plants (snap peas and cucumbers right now) as well as some worm grit for our worm bin!

Thank you for visiting this project and for supporting garden education! This has been an amazing outdoor science lab for my students and we are excited to expand the learning opportunities with gardening!
