Through My Window: Ashaway Kids Grow Garden


Harvesting
Thanks to the hard work of Ashaway School parents, students and teachers, I have been enjoying the library's view: the Ashaway Kids Grow Garden is getting greener by the day!  Yesterday I took a stroll through the garden during lunch and captured pictures of a very special activity.  Parent volunteers were showing the students how to harvest and clean some of the vegetables, and there was salad for all!  It was so great to see how enthusiastic the kids were (and they loved taking turns using the salad spinner).  And, despite the amount of fresh lettuce that was devoured, I was amazed by how much still remains.  As with all of the plants in the garden, they will be collected over the summer and donated to the food pantry at Wood River Health Services.

YUM!

As we near the beginning of summer, I'll be spending a lot of time ordering new materials for the library.  You can be sure that I've added some titles about gardening to the list!
