In the Discovery Garden

The children in the Discovery After school program in Hayesville, NC have been enjoying learning about gardening. In the spring, they were able to build 3 raised beds and were able to plant a summer garden.

This fall they were able to plant a few of the cool weather crops. They planted broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts, and collard greens. After a month, the plants are doing well.

The vegetables are doing well. However, since it is starting to turn cooler, the students have covered the beds to keep the plants from freezing.
