Some highlights from our first week of Farm Squad๐งโ๐พ
WPS Elementary Students will help maintain a vegetable and pollinator garden throughout the summer to explore topics such as soil health, water quality, biodiversity, pollination, and more. ๐
Many of the students have never had some of the crops that are growing in the garden like peas, zucchini, nasturtium, tomatoes, so we are excited for them to try new things! ๐ฅ
