Oh Hello Summer Garden

We’ve had a wet start to the summer… but with the first real rays of summer sun and temps up the 80s we’re ready to jump through sprinklers in swimsuits, lick dripping popsicles, and dunk our heads in the stream!

The garden is coming into its own this time of year, cranking out sweet summer berries, crisp carrots, and our first abundant bouquets of flowers. These first weeks of summer students help in the garden by planting seedlings, catching potato bugs and cabbage moths, and harvesting arm loads of garlic scapes.

We love to play in the garden too! Kids love using mortars and pestles to squish flowers and leaves into garden “ink”. We’ve seen some truly stunning creations this year made from not much more than pansies!
