It's hard to believe that there are only 3 weeks left of school! We have had another wonderful year in the garden with our Wells Branch Elementary Garden Explorers and Farmer's Market group! Today, we will have our weekly Farmer's Market at WBE. Look for the bright blue market stand. Each item/bunch costs $1 and all items are extremely fresh and organically grown in the courtyard at WBE. Don't forget your reusable bags!

Today's offerings are: swiss chard, kale, lettuce, spinach, edible flowers (calendula and nasturtium), tons of herbs and limited quantities of: beets, carrots, peas and banana peppers. Hope to see you there!

After today's market, we will only have 2 more markets: May 17th and May 24th. Thank you for supporting our awesome program and the gardening students at WBE!

A HUGE thanks to Dianna Gielstra, Johan Gielstra, Steve Wilson, Daira Wilson and Fernando Muñoz for doing such a lovely job on the new cedar benches by the Walker Dismissal Area and for the additional mulch around the native plants. We spent our Sunday afternoon working on beautifying the area. We are planning on planting a native garden by the new benches once the weather warms up a bit again. For now, parents and guardians waiting for their children after school have a nice area to sit down and converse with fellow parents. Photo to follow soon!

Tenemos 4 bancas nuevas en el área de salida peatonal!!!
Un enorme agradecimiento a Dianna Gielstra, Gielstra Johan, Steve Wilson, Wilson Daira y Fernando Muñoz que gracias a ellos tenemos 4 bancas de cedro nuevas en el área de salida peatonal. El domingo por la tarde estuvimos trabajando en el embellecimiento de esta zona, colocamos las bancas nuevas y pusimos mulch adicional en las plantas regionales ahí ubicadas. Nuestro siguiente paso, cuando el clima nos los permita, es construir un jardín con plantas regionales al lado de las bancas. Estamos muy contentos con el trabajo realizado. Por lo pronto los padres y tutores en espera de sus hijos a la hora de salida de la escuela tienen un lugar para sentarse y conversar cómodamente con otros padres. La foto próximamente.
