A Beautiful Day In The Garden

The Lakewood Elementary School garden got some extra TCL today when our kindergarden class was  unfortunately unable to come out to the garden and our was spent as a maintenance shift. Although still a bit chilly, the sun was shining and it was beautiful out in the garden, so spending some extra time tending directly to the plants was a pleasure.

Walking around the garden throughout our shift we came up with some ideas we had such as repainting the perimeter of the beds as a way to bring more art into the garden, beautify the man-made parts of the garden, and to get the kids involved in a fun art project that they would be leaving in their garden for years to come.

Leaving the garden today, I was grateful to have spent so much time weeding and just being in the garden since it's always so relaxing, especially after a stressful week of college work and projects.
