Last Fall, we at Park Seed hosted a contest that invited folks to submit essays about why their school should receive a $150 gift certificate to use for gardening-related projects. We received a bevy of beautiful essays, but ultimately selected an essay about the Fremont Middle School Earth Club and their efforts to get students involved in organic gardening.
Well, now that school is out, Earth Club sponsor Mr. Eddie Newmann has sent us some pictures showing his students making excellent use of their prize money! Here's what Mr. Newmann had to say:
"Wanted to send you a few pictures from the garden this year. We loved the carrot tape and bulbs that we got. They are growing great. Here are some pictures of our wildflowers and garden in progress. Thank you again!"
Thank you for sharing these great candid pix of your students making beautiful things grow in the garden while growing themselves!
