Questions for the Garden Visit

1.) What is growing in the garden now?

2.) What kind of crop is this and why was it planted?

3.) HOW do these plants (and all plants in the biosphere) play a significant role in the major nutrient cycles (biogeochemical cycles) we have been discussing in class? Draw a diagram to help support your answer.

Planting Party!

Want to see your seedlings from the seed germination lab safely to their next home? Join us for a planting party--nothing fancy, just good old-fashioned dirty fun--at the Willow Glen High School Gardens and Outdoor Lab (WGHSGOL) main garden site in the back of the school (on Dry Creek Road) from 5:30 to 7:30 this Sunday (September 4th). Stop by, have some lemonade, plant a cowpea, sow some buckwheat, make some new friends, and help our gardens grow!



I will give a short talk explaining the benefits of cover crops (warm and cool season) and demonstrate the use of a simple but effective preparation for legume seeds (beans, peas, peanuts) that can help give them a big boost as they grow. I'll also talk about the vision for WGHSGOL and answer your questions, too. So come on down and make this a true "Labor" Day weekend.


See you in the garden!

Mr. Bursch
