I was reflecting on the start of the Sturgis Elementary Garden today and wanted to be sure to thank Michelle Grosek of Bear Butte Gardens.  I searched  and searched for the pictures I took that day, but could only find one of a student admiring the herbs and plants she brought in to share with the students.  It was evident after reading the thank you letters that were written to Michelle that she had a tremendous impact on the students' understanding of seed starting.  Students were inspired to seed the first garden at our school and to take their new learning home and start their own family gardens.  Thank you Michelle!
