The School Gardens are Ready for Spring!

By Kalimah Mustafa | Outreach Coordinator

Is that spring I hear? After a long and wayward winter, our school gardens are ready for sunshine and warm weather. The students at Healey have already started seedlings and have joined their teachers in garden-based lessons related to rocks, soil, plants, and plant adaptations! Winter Hill Community School awaits its new Seedling Farm that will provide seedlings for Winter Hill as well several other school gardens. And, as the snow has receded and spring rains have come, bulbs that students planted last fall at East Somerville Community School on Food Day are coming up -- we're in for flourishing floral around Somerville this spring! 

Tuesday morning, Mayor Curtatone joined YouthBuild to help do work fixing up the garden beds, planting peas, and doing clean-up at West Somerville Neighborhood School as part of the Mayor's Day of Recognition for National Service! Meanwhile, Groundwork Somerville is looking forward to a clean-up at Prospect Hill Academy Early Childhood Campus and has been meeting with parents and administrators to put plans into motion for their school garden.
In the coming months, many of our schools are hoping to get rain barrels to catch water for their respective gardens and are looking forward to planting seedlings, continuing to learn about food and nature in the gardens, and beginning the harvest! The season has started off strong, and things are looking up!
