BESSEMER - April 2, 2011
Each spring members of the Range Master
Gardeners provide seed planting instruction to the Washington
School fourth grade students. This week, five Master Gardens
visited students in Mrs. Carver’s and Mrs. Osiers classes.
Master Garden Gordon Frase teaches each
class the fundamentals of seed starting. The students learn
about plant structure, growth requirements, sowing details as
well as what to observe when reading the envelope that seed come
in.
This year as in years past the students
sowed marigold seeds. They will be able to care for the seeds
using the information that they learned in their classroom
instruction.
Just prior to school closing for summer
recess, the kids will take their plants outdoors and will plant
them around the school sign and along the the steps leading to
the front door.
Assisting Frase in the classroom were Master
Gardeners Jewell Lakvold, Chris Ainslie and Bonnie Maki. |
