June 12, 2009: Fall crop planting & layout
Students planted tomatoes, basil, potatoes, and squash during morning recesses. To protect these crops so we can harvest them this fall for the Thurston County Food Bank, we will be placing this sign in the garden.
 
June 5, 2009: Spring garden harvest party!
We surprised ourselves and surpassed our expectations on Friday, June 5, as hundreds of students harvested lettuce, radishes, and herbs during the morning recesses. We washed up enough to serve all students and staff at lunch and STILL had plenty to donate to the Thurston County Food Bank: 40 pounds of gorgeous organic lettuce and 23 pounds of white and red radishes.

Roosevelt Enrichment Activities Program

Pizza Garden!
Thursdays, May 14th and May 21st, 3:30 to 4:45
Roosevelt parents Ginny Codd and Jenifer Thacher, avid gardeners and pizza lovers, will work with children to create a [pizza-shaped garden at the Roosevelt Dreams garden. The garden will contain vegetables and herbs such as tomato and basil. The children will design their pizza garden and plant their chosen vegetables and herbs. We will also create a "pizza" of artwork to mark the pizza garden site. In the fall, Phase 2 will be offered where we will harvest our pizza ingredients and make and bake a tasty Roosevelt Dreams Garden pizza!
