Such a fun May The Forth be with you! Started with CT & coding activities thanks to our amazing @csforlcps team! Then we met in the garden for some hands on science fun! 1st time being together all year! @DominionTrailES

@DtesLandscape @DominionTrailES @DTESPrincipal while enjoying a walk around the school looking for signs of erosion, we got to taste some sweet strawberries!

Wrapping up our first corn 🌽 grown in the "backyard garden"! This plant has given countless lessons and happiness. We 😍 the pretty colors on this decorative Indian corn and how tall the stalks grew! #schoolgarden #gardenvolunteers #dtesgarden @DTESPrincipal @DtesPta

The rocks are starting to get painted!!! Thank you Ms. Johnson and @DtesPta and @HomeDepot. These are going to brighten our courtyard even more!

[DTES_Landscape @DtesLandscape]

Remember those warm days in dec? These bulbs (total of 10) sprang up! Thankfully @robbinsfirstgrd 1st graders planted around 70 various bulbs so there will be a spring show 😉. AND HOW AWESOME IS NATURE!?? @weltens2ndGrade the pansies are still with flowers! @DominionTrailES

[DTES_Landscape @DtesLandscape]

Happy times despite the freezing wind!

[Weltens2ndGrade @weltens2ndGrade]

@DtesPta @DominionTrailES We enjoyed the stumps while we waited for our turn to plant.

[DTES_Landscape @DtesLandscape]

Hands on learning is the best! Thanks for helping clean out the beds and plant the tough little flowers. I'm confident they will be smiling at all DTES soon 😀

[Weltens2ndGrade @weltens2ndGrade]

@DtesPta @DominionTrailES Learning about what plants need and how they make food using sun, sunlight, soil, and air. Thank you, Mrs. Brody!

[DTES_Landscape @DtesLandscape]

It was a delight to work with these little gardeners! 🙏

[Weltens2ndGrade @weltens2ndGrade]

@DominionTrailES @DtesPta we worked with Mrs. Brody to understand what plants need to grow and look forward to seeing their changes throughout the seasons. The boxes are now full of pansies and we can’t wait to see them peek their heads over in the spring.

[DTES_Landscape @DtesLandscape]

Some frost hardy flowers went into our vertical garden boxes this windy afternoon. Thank you happy 2nd grade gardeners!

[Dominion Trail ES @DominionTrailES]

Making good use of our remade courtyard. Thanks Mrs. Brodie and Mrs. Weltens’ class.

This mum is huge and gorgeous! See the little mum in the purple tire? It was nearly dead when it was planted this fall. But with water and care it's looking good and will one day be as full and vibrant as it's neighbor that has a few years head start ;) @DominionTrailES
