Our greenhouse is a magnificent addition to our beautiful outdoor classroom!!
Come on in and take a peak!!
All of our children on the primary side have been busy planting, our greenhouse is full of herbs and vegetables!
We chose herbs and vegetables because it is just enough of a challenge to make it rewarding and fun. Once our plants start to harvest, we will be able to taste and use our herbs for a variety of culinary purposes.
Here are some of the different types of herbs and vegetables our gardeners have planted.
-
Carrots
- Beets
- Basil
- Parsley
- Garlic
- Yellow Onions
- Turnips
- Thyme
- Chives
- Lavender
- Rosemary
- Chicory
- Peppers
We also want to give a special thanks to Ms. Barbara (RJ’s Grandmother), for all of her help and tips on watering.
The greenhouse has peaked our children’s curiosity and they have been coming up with some very interesting questions!
One of our favorite questions so far is…
Why isn’t the greenhouse green?
Another Question…What is the greenhouse made of?
The greenhouse is made of a special clear material called polycarbonate. These are glass like panels and unbreakable, ask the children more about the greenhouse and what it’s made of. You will be surprised on how much they know!
Here are two of our students explaining what polycarbonate panels are and how they work!
Remember learning is endless!!
Love Ms. Val & Ms. Kim
