Washington School Students Braving
Cold Weather - Plant Spring
Flowers
BESSEMER – May 27, 2011
Washington School students in Mrs. Carver’s and Mrs.
Osiers classes planted seeds last March with local
Master Gardeners. Yesterday, the Master Gardeners
returned to Washington School to help the students plant
their flowers in the front of their school.
The day felt more like a March day than it did a day in
late May.
The young gardeners planted Marigolds along both sides
of the steps that lead to the school’s front door. They
also planted flowers around the flag pole and the
school’s sign.
During the summer, student volunteers and Master
Gardeners will return to the school each week to water,
weed and deadhead the flowers.
The Washington School planting is headed up by Master
Garden Gordon Frase. He was assisted by the teachers,
parent volunteers, and Master Gardener Jewell Lakvold.
The young student pictured above has moved here from
Texas. We told him yesterday was a typical UP summer
day!
