High School Science assisted the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center with their restoration of native plants project by planting Oregon White Oak and Arrowleaf Balsamroot. As a thank you we were given a free tour of their bird of prey exhibit and museum!
Harvesting the Ranger Pumpkin Patch completed our seasonal cycle. The seeds from the largest pumpkins are being saved in a dry dark place to be planted next spring. The rest are being cooked in preparation for Halloween festivities.
The Green House classes are working on lasagne gardening. They collect leaves from their community service yard raking project, and Mrs. Olson picks up coffee grounds and newspaper from We-3 to recycle in the garden. They layer it up and top it off with donated straw or rotten hay, then plant pollinator plants into it.
