Lower School Science Classes Plant Spring Garden

MIddle School Students Design Butterfly Garden

At Preserve Day earlier this fall, we employed Middle School student ideas for a redesign of the Butterfly Garden in The Preserve At Germantown Academy. While the final effort looks more like an amalgam of the best ideas from lots of designs, there were many interesting individual designs. 

Garden to Table Salsa

Just in time for Preserve Day 2016, Maura Saurman, MS science teacher and Divisional Coordinator of the Nature Program has delivered up another amazing batch of GA salsa with produce grown by middle school students, harvested by student Green Ambassadors, as part of the science curriculum.  Fro the second year in a row, visitors to the Academic Courtyard gardens on preserve Day will get samples of the salsa to enjoy with chips!

Harvesting the Spring Crop

 

Students in Lisa Martin's first grade science class spent the afternoon harvesting ALL of the kale in GA's Community Garden.  Students had a great tome delivering the crop to Chef Luke.   Look for delicious meals featuring home grown kale in the dining room soon! Students also plan on delivering lettuce and broccoli in the coming days!
