We had a great time planting our school yard, urban garden. We planted some from seeds, and others we started at the greenhouse at the Franciscan Monastery in DC. By the end of the school year we had plenty of lettuce, peas, beans, radishes, turnips, beets, cilantro, and coriander to harvest. Now we're waiting for the tomatoes, squash, and peppers.
While we were working on the garden, we read and LOVED Seedfolks by Paul Fleischman which focuses on a community garden in Cleveland, Ohio and how it positively transforms the lives of 13 individuals, and the entire neighborhood!
