My Project

We have a school garden that has 2 large flower beds.

We would like to grow tomato and cilantro plants for students to take care of.

They told me they use tomatoes and cilantro at home all the time so what a great way for the children to see the lifecycle of plants in real time is exciting.The cages, ties and stakes will be used when the tomatoes grow tall. They will hold up the plants stems. Once the fruits are beared, they can take them home. The flowering plants such as the gardenia and petunia will be planted in our large pots in the reading garden.

In the classroom, students will plant flowering seeds in the self watering pots. This way they will just watch their plants grow without watering it all the time. They will use seeds and truly see the lifecycle of a plant. I have 2 plant doctor monitors that water and weed on a daily basis. Monitors change weekly so this is a popular job!
