Get a sense of the local agricultural scene by:
1. Reading Urban Agriculture by David Tracey 2. Taking a tour of three different local urban farms (ex SOLEfood, UBC farms, Loutet Farm, Terra Nova etc) 3. Come up with a list of suggestions for our garden based on what you saw at these farms. |
1. Research four plants that could be grown and harvested during the
school year. 2. Plant, care for, and harvest a crop of each. 3. During the growing season, report back periodically about how your plant is doing and what you are doing to help it along (adding compost/fertilizer, adjusting watering schedule, adding frost protection etc) 4. Tell me why you planted the plants where you did. (talk about soil types, drainage, sun exposure, companion plants etc) 5. Tell me what should be planted in the spot you used next year and why. |
