The A.L.L. GREEN FUTURES STEWARDS<\/em><\/strong> are an extraordinary group of students! They have been spending close to 15 hours every week in the OMI\/Excelsior Living Library & Think Park Gardens<\/strong><\/em> and are beginning to master some important gardening skills including pruning, weeding, hose coiling, composting, and planting as well as numerous other useful green skills.<\/p>\n

Teachers Cecilia and Alex asked students to write about their experience in the garden thus far. Here are some of their responses:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Janna, age 12<\/h4>\n

\"Jul.<\/h4>\n

  1. One thing I learned is how to pull out\/dig up weed on the dirt. Another thing I learned, is pitch forking the compost with a turning pitch fork.<\/li>\n
  2. The Hula Hoe is used for to dig down to plant a plant.<\/li>\n
  3. The activity I enjoy most is, watering, because I love playing with water and using water for some reason.<\/li>\n
  4. I chose a shovel that symbolizes the garden because the garden was started with a shovel to dig up dirt and plat the plat on the whole.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Jennifer, age 13<\/h4>\n

    \"Jul.<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    1. I have learned how to plant trees and how to prune plants.<\/li>\n
    2. My favorite tool in the garden is the pruner. The pruner is used to cut off the dead part of a plant<\/li>\n
    3. My favorite activity that I have enjoyed was making the salad and chocolate dipped fruits. I enjoyed making the salad because I actually ate vegetables in a fun way. The chocolate dipped fruits were good so I enjoyed it.<\/li>\n
    4. I think that the tree in the chill corner symbolizes the garden because we all like climbing on it and hanging out on it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n
