Summer Science: Our Growing Garden

Ready...set...grow! Young scientists were introduced to this year's garden with a scavenger hunt! Can you find the biggest leaf? How about the smallest? How many cucumbers, tomatoes, and zucchini can you find growing in our garden? The answer was much more than we expected!

This week, young scientists made compost tea for our garden. We used compost from our backyard system to make a nutrient rich liquid to be used on our garden beds. This compost tea helps keep our garden growing healthy and strong.

This week, we harvested a small handful of tomatoes, some beans, lots of mint and lemon balm, and two types of basil from our hydroponics system.

The growing season is just beginning!
