Garden Trellis

Well, Dave and Mr. V have pulled through! They built the garden arbor for us in two days!



It looks great, and we can't wait until our gardening party on November 14th when we will plant the climbing veggies. We are planning to plant cucumbers, tomatoes, and pole beans to climb the arbor. The cucumber plants are already started!





We started some other seeds today too in hopes that we will have some sprouts for the Gardening Party.

I have been putting the 'ing' in gardening party in bold because some people have been confused as to exactly what to expect. This is not the tea and crumpets type of party. It is more of a working in the garden party. Parents will be helping get the plants into the ground or into proper pots. They will also be helping to dig out the garden bed at the base of the trellis which is now just sod. This is a chance for parents, kids, and staff to all work together to do something good for the environment! I hope you will join us for our GardenING Party on Friday November 14 after the PTO meeting.

Wow, this is all so awesome! You should feel very proud to be doing such wonderful and important work, in so many ways.

Good luck and keep it up - we'll be following along!

Yay Bek! Way to go. Can't wait to visit your garden in person, but this is a great substitute for now.

Love, Erika
