Here are some students getting ready to taste-test fresh picked vegetables:

And here we are learning about how composting works:

Students also had stations about the types of soil and environmentally smart watering practices. Plus, we planted our very own bed of vegetables!

This field trip will serve as a great kick-off to our plant unit that is coming up in a few weeks. We'll be able to make lots of great connections to what we learned on our trip.
