With all the budget cuts in public schools these days, it is great to see schools picking up the slack by teaching gardening.
This year we have seen a real boom in the number of elementary schools putting gardening into their curriculum. Now THAT'S PRACTICALITY!
Young kids love gardening. And as time marches on, we ALL will need to know more about how to grow our own food. With all the occupational opportunity for Organic Gardening that lies before us, how wonderful that these kids are getting early exposure.
Keep in mind, some city kids have no idea what a garden is all about. Many kids have no idea what a potato looks like, they think it looks like a French Fry. Sad, but true.
The top choice this year for school gardens is our Multi-Season Raised Bed growing system with Greenhouse Cover- A Complete Kit!! It's our overall best seller too. A simple and complete garden kit. Perfect for schools.

Gardening Tips & Tidbits..........
Gardening Tips for the "Garden Newbie." Your goal is to grow the most produce from the least amount of space. And here are a few simple tips.
* Plant succession plants every 2 weeks in early spring and fall.
* Grow vertical crops that can grow upwards to save space. Trellis snow peas, beans, pole beans, and cucumbers. You can even get Butternut and Spaghetti Squash to climb a very sturdy fence or trellis.
* Avoid over-planting any single vegetable. Zucchini and Yellow-Neck Squash are the biggest offenders when it comes to over-production. One plant is enough!! Really.
* Plant medium and small-fruited tomatoes and peppers. The smaller the fruits, the more plants tend to produce.
* Garden with LOVE and LOVE what you Garden!!
