An Outdoor Space to Learn and Grow!

Community member and parent, Traci Bisson approached BES earlier in the year about creating a school garden. Traci is an incredibly knowledgeable gardener and also knows how to write grants. She has secured resources for us to start a wonderful school garden in the courtyard. Please visit this blog and watch our garden grow!

Delivering the soil

We had six yards of super loam delivered from Barrington Mulch & Flower, who donated the cost of delivery, on April 8th. 

Tim Joslin & Ray Bisson worked hard to fill both raised beds in the courtyard as well as change out the soil in the two flowers beds on the right side of the school building. 

Ms. Joslin, Traci Bisson and Mrs. Deely raked the soil into the beds, leveling it out. The soil will now be warmed with the assistance of black plastic. The planting will begin in mid-May.
