AG Episode 16: 🌱🌼 Spring Seed Planting with Ag Students! 🌱🌼
(3/5): Exciting news from our Agriculture program! Our students have been hard at work preparing for the upcoming spring planting season. Recently, they rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty planting starter seeds for our garden.
Under the guidance of our 6th Grade Ag teachers, the students learned the basics of seed planting, including proper spacing, watering techniques, and the importance of sunlight. From tomatoes to sunflowers, our young gardeners carefully planted a variety of seeds with enthusiasm and care.
As these seeds begin to sprout and grow, our students will continue to nurture them, eagerly anticipating the fruits (and vegetables!) of their labor.
Stay tuned for more updates as we watch our seeds blossom into beautiful plants! 🌿🌻
Until the next episode....Happy Planting!
