What we did:
So, day three's lesson for the kids was in visualizing the garden space, thinking about what could grow there and we could place in the garden. It was very free-form; the only limitations were the sketch of the four square raised beds and their imaginations.
The goal:
The goal was to get them thinking about what could grow and how they could impact the space. This was a simple activity that was accomplished in an hour but could be adapted for a longer period of time and made more complex for older kids with readings or other lessons on interplanting, biology of plants/ecosystems, etc.
