You can now follow the @BucknellElem Community Garden on Twitter! 🐦 This project would now have been possible without the support of our partners @GrandInvolve @BryantFCPS @LaportaMs @ArcadiaFood @FCPSR3 @theWPboard @HMESOutdoorEd & @PTAHMES!

@BucknellElem Hello Bucknell families. Did you know our school had a new garden? It does, on the Canterbury Rd. side of the school near the parking lot. Here are a few things we are growing. Check it out!

We harvested 80# food this morning! Our volunteer Don has always wanted to run a veggie cart handing out veggies, so we loaded the produce in a cart and he handed it out to our custodial staff! @HmesPartnership @HollinMeadowsES @PTAHMES

I had several students come to the garden today to take a break. Some wanted to talk and weed. Some just wanted a quiet moment. I’m grateful that our garden space is a safe haven for our students and our staff when things feel tough. @HollinMeadowsES @PTAHMES @HmesPartnership

We made a teepee! I told my volunteers that I wanted a teepee trellis for luffa and Don said “ok I’m on it” and showed up with a 17 ft masterpiece all ready to assemble! Jennie our other volunteer also helped and within minutes it was up and braced! @HollinMeadowsES @PTAHMES

Love when we get to work with other schools! @BucknellElem has been such a fun partner this year. Trading ideas and watching them build their own garden has been so fun. I was so excited to get to share some of our seedlings to help out in a tiny way! @HollinMeadowsES @PTAHMES

We learned about the various species of carnivorous plants with Mr. Shada’s class today and then students got to make their own carnivorous plant! @HmesPartnership @PTAHMES @HollinMeadowsES

First grade has been learning about plant parts and seed dispersal this week. My favorite seed dispersal example - this bed is entirely volunteer plants that grew from the plants that were here last summer!! @HmesPartnership @HollinMeadowsES @PTAHMES
