So there is this wonderful collaboration going on with our school and a local business/restaurant named "Odd Duck." They have donated time and money to expand the gardens we have had for a long while that have been primarily taken care of by former Zilker parent and neighborhood legend Jabo. Here is the amazing sign that PTA created for the area ( I LOVE the rake as the sign post!)
Each class planted an area with veggies, and are taking care of their plots. Here is an over view of the whole area.
And here's a fenced-in PPCD play area that is just begging to be "Zilkerized!" Not to worry: my art students will be painting some great veggie designs so we can jazz up this area and connect it to the awesome learning they are doing in the classrooms about plants, food, gardening, and healthy eating. Stay tuned: I am in the process of gathering supplies and writing lessons so all the grade levels can contribute to this community project. I am hoping to be finished by late Fall 2015.
