Now that our summer program and training academies have concluded, the kitchen classroom is closed as the King custodial staff waxes the floors, the office is preparing for a new year of volunteers and community events, and the garden staff finally has time to spend the entirety of the day cultivating, planting, and harvesting the beautiful bounties of summer. Life here is quieter than usual, but summer activity is an essential part of our work at the Edible Schoolyard. This season is spent rejuvenating, creating new lessons for the incoming crop of students, and ensuring that there will be fresh corn, tomatoes, and grains ready for them to harvest and prepare in the kitchen upon their return to campus.
Thank you for following our adventures thus far, and we will see you again soon for the start of the school year in September!
