Under the Sea -Baja Garden

Here the before and after pictures!
3C with Mrs. Guarino worked so hard clearing bushes in front of the mural at the corner of Fern St and Ash St. Then we moved the garden so that we can finish it this year. The mural will take a while to repaint and next year, we'll finish that Baja Garden. The Under the Sea Baja Garden is really wonderful to look at, watch the cactus blooming but you don't want to horse around that area and fall in.

The kids will be making fish and adding other details.





Visit the Quail Gardens in Encinitas to see their Undersea Garden, it's absolutely amazing, here are some pictures.




New Gardens sprouting up!

Some are working on the signage for the Japanese Peace Garden.
Others are digging and clearing a lot of dirt.
And the last few are stripping bamboo for future use.
What a wonderful and hot day working with the 3rd graders at AEA.
Thanks to all of you, especially the sweeping crew.

Frau Grogan's 3rd Graders


Transforming the lunch arbor garden area...under the staircase into a Japanese Garden.
The students read a few books, discussed designing and sketched a lot. Their beautiful sketches are hanging on the wall in the MPR, take a look at them and you will be amazed. I especially like the whip cream pond and quick sand for bad kids. Here a picture of the garden as it is now, before the work begins.
