The Tuesday before Thanksgiving marks the Edible Schoolyard’s annual Harvest to Home. The Harvest to Home is a chance for students at Martin Luther King, Jr. Middle School to bring a little piece of the Edible Schoolyard back to their homes. Our garden staff harvests the garden and creates bunches, bags, and bouquets for students at the school to share. When the bell rings on Tuesday afternoon, signifying the Thanksgiving break, everyone is invited to meet on the front lawn to collect their free garden goodies. Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to give thanks to the people we care about, and Harvest to Home is a very small way we can show our appreciation for our wonderful and inspiring students.

Strawflowers that we dried and gave away
The chard was the first thing we ran out of
We also did a little tasting
The rosemary permeated the air
