A year in the Learning Gardens

Courtesy of NurtureStore

Here's a tentative idea of what we'd like to focus on each month in Fairview's Learning Garden.

September:  weed, transplant perennials

October:  create plant labels, mulch and plant cold season veggies & bulbs (Journey North Tulip Test Garden

November:  gather seeds & uses, bird scavenger hunts

December: Sunflower shaped sundial using chalk and pots (see above photo.)

January: ice sun catchers, science of melting

February: Using paper rolls create seedling plantings, participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count

March: spring cool veggie planting

April: make nature prints with air dry clay for Mother's Day magnets

May: worm surveys using clear sided root boxes

June: harvest party and flower/leaf pressing
