OUR GARDENS
|
The gardens are an important part of our curriculum. We have a variety of gardens on campus, including our Butterfly Garden - which is certified and nationally registered as an Official Monarch Waystation. Our gardens and projects bring together the knowledge and skills students have acquired. Each project is designed to encourage students to develop a sense of ownership and responsibility for their learning, with the aim of creating lifelong learners and stewards of the environment.

Harvest from the Second Grade Three Sisters Garden
|
Free Seed Library - PHSSA is building our first ever Free Seed Library! Some of these seeds will be made available to teachers so they can plant with their students in the school gardens. Our Free Seed Library will be housed in a central location to be accessed by anyone with a desire to plant. Please bring seed donations to Mrs. Marunde/Room 102 or to the main office.
Garden Guides - Garden Guides will be matched to a homeroom to assist the homeroom teacher with tasks including, but not limited to: accompanying a class to the garden as an extra pair of hands, seed selection, planting seeds/seedlings, and weeding. The Garden Guide will communicate with the homeroom teacher to coordinate times and how best to assist. Please contact Lauren Mathews if you are interested!
Summer Break Garden Watering - Our gardens need watering while school is out in June and July! Please volunteer for a week or share a week with another family. Sign up here. No experience is necessary, our sign up sheet comes with instructions! As a thank you, please harvest and enjoy any veggies that are ready during your week!
