Did
you know there is a TCS Garden Committee? Kim Lohnas, Lisa Attinasi and
Jen Brinsky formed the Garden Committee because our current garden
provides limited gardening experiences for our student gardeners. This
is mainly due to the current garden's size, layout, location and age.
For the past few years, we have been working in collaboration with
administration, teachers and parents to improve our students' gardening
experiences at TCS.
Our
vision is to expand our garden in order to enrich our students'
hands-on experiences, support the school's mission of supporting
environmental curriculum and involve more of the TCS community in
gardening. We are very excited to make this a reality in the near
future.
Our
hopes and dreams include a student-driven curriculum that involves
learning about plant growth processes and a CSA program that allows
students to learn where food comes from and how it eventually reaches
the table.
Wouldn't it be wonderful for the garden to be a TCS community focused endeavor?
Here is a short survey http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YNGHJSK which
will help us to get to know who in our parent community is interested
in gardening and also help us plan for future garden related
experiences. Thank you for any contributions you may have!
