Sauvie Island Center Field Trip 9/22

What a fun and fantastic day on the farm! We learned about plant parts, worms, compost, seeds, soil, and more! We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to pick and sample a variety of vegetables and herbs straight from the garden, including tomatoes, celery, fennel, dill, kale, and swiss chard. The giant cucumbers were a huge hit! It is amazing how everything tastes better when it is picked and eaten fresh! We even planted lima bean seeds using worm castings, which we took back to school to grow. We will be building on and applying these experiences this year as we continue learning about composting, gardening, food webs, and photosynthesis.
