Miss Allie, Garden Coordinator
“I think the garden is such a special place. It shows us the importance of caring for our community and the earth and I believe we can learn a lot from being in the garden. I can’t wait to meet and get to know each and every individual of the school."

Drawing in the garden
Miss Allie taught the importance of taking care of ourselves like we do with the plants. After checking in with each student and their emotions, they learned ALL emotions are valid, and a way they can be expressed is through art. Pictured below are elementary students expressing their emotions through art and finding inspiration in the garden.

Miss Allie used a big "blueberry" to have elementary students experience how ants cooperate with each other to accomplish tasks. Below they are delivering food to their queen, who lives in a dark environment.
