Art can be a fun subject to incorporate into gardening projects. 

From a bed of dirt, to one of LIFE!!

Carrots take longer to develop but worth the wait!

The first of our Easter Egg Blend Radishes!

These baby lettuce grew quickly and abundantly.

"Found-Object-Container" Project teaches sustainability.  

Tender and tasty baby lettuce. 

It takes team work to build a scarecrow!

Gardening ain't no walk in the park!

The finale of our class was a salad party!

Fall Seeds:

1. Viola Johnny Jump /up
2. Mesclun Lettuce- Lactua sativa
3. Danvers 126 Carrot- Daucus sarota sativus

6. Romaine Lettuce 'Little Gem'- Latuca sativa

"It's amazing how each packet ranges from $1-$3 and you can grow so much from them to eat. The potential is abundant! What you pay for one packet of many seeds and many salads as opposed to one lettuce head at the market, not including the other benefits of gardening to the body, mind, spirit and environment."
