Oak Tree Nursery in progress

As a follow up to collecting 4,184 acorns this fall, Primary C helped start our Oak Tree Nursery out by the Commons.  Chris Hartman’s Farm and Community class built the raised bed garden frame and squirrel screen. Together, the students from PC and Farm and Community (mostly 10th graders) helped transport the top soil and moss to the garden bed, broke up the clumps of dirt, planted the acorns, and then secured the top to the garden. The acorns will weather the winter in their protected space, and then we should see them start to grow in the spring!
