Hurley - May 27, 2009 The after school students at the
Hurley School received some garden training recently from members
of the Range Master Gardeners. Wisconsin/Michigan Master Gardener,
Lynn Adams completed another gardening project involving the local
school students. Early this spring the students of teachers
Amy Swarz and Carol
Saari planted tomato seeds. Since then they have been
caring for the seedlings which have successfully grown into
plants. The students transplanted their tomato plants in larger
containers to take home for the summer. The extra plants grown by
the students were also transplanted and were brought to Garden
Estates to be given to the residents.
Some of the students, with the help of the Master Gardeners,
also planted flower planters in front of the school
building. Each year, the after school students plant annuals in
the urns that you see in front of the school. This year there was
a great deal of wind during the planting, making the job a little
more difficult. None-the-less the kids did a great job! |
