We are plowing ahead!--Caution! bad garden puns ahead--We have formed a garden committee to take on the work of getting something planted and in the ground for students to interact with and learn from this Spring. We are starting with building some raised beds.
The committee is made up of 6 key roles:
Facilitator/Principal--handles the leadership and project management
of "the big picture"
Garden Coordinator--oversees the physical garden and takes the lead
in design and planning
Planting Day Leader--promotes and coordinates site preparation, building
and planting
Resource Leader--collects and distruibutes educational materials and writes
articles when needed
Parent-Teacher Liason--Recruits parents and community members to help,
and keeps PTC informed
Fundraiser/PR Leader--Seeks funding to sustain the garden
Each role is shared by two or three people, so that we can really maximize our energy and enthusiasm and not overwhelm anyone. Sustainability is one of our goals! If you are interested in a particular aspect of the garden, and focusing your attention, expertise and energy, contact me (Kira). I would be happy to sign you up!
