Today our wonderful community gathered at Montessori Day School and worked on several projects we had going around our school. The first and most significant is our Common Ground Community Garden Project. We have a quarter of an acre of land that we have free reign to till, clear, and plant whatever we like! Now..that is a lot of land for a few Montessori teachers to tend to...so we have been gathering support and had some amazing people who are sooo wise in the area of horticulture help us out. We are starting with a small size plot to test out the amount of critters in the area, and also find our flow as a school with tending to the garden.
Our next task was to fit the large and rather odd shaped cold frame on our "playgarden" with plastic and fit two shelves. This will be the future home of the many seedlings that will be started for the garden. The children will have enough room to enter, check plants, water, and even have a seat and do some journaling.
The last and unfinished task was the chicken coop. Which worked out better, because now I have time (and motivation) to really find some good plans. I really like this one and it works with what is currently available.

To be continued! Happy weekending!
