Let the 2013 Growing Season Begin

Seeding soil blocks.

Sturgis Elementary third grade classes kicked off the 2013 growing season with a visit from Michelle Grosek of Bear Butte Gardens.  Michelle's informative presentation excited and inspired students to seed new plants and encouraged students to imagine the possibility of starting our own garden.  In addition to planting seeds students tasted a variety of sprouts!  Mustard, mung bean, and pea were among the favorites!

Yummm.....seeds!

Thanks to the Sturgis Rally Charities Foundation, we were able to add 3 new raised beds, a fence, and seating to the garden outdoor space this year!
