Fall Gardening

At our September Open House students had the opportunity to taste tomatoes and cucumbers grown in the BES Learning Garden. 

The Barrington Cub Scouts came to BES on a Saturday and filled the 4 new beds with loam. 

We have 4 new beds ready for the BES Pumpkin Patch! Thank you to the PTA for donating the funds needed to make this happen.

The 1st Year of the BES Learning Garden was an amazing success! 

Special thanks to Ms. Joslin for her work on this project. 

More fall clean up and the winter rye is planted.

Stay tuned for more happenings in the BES Learning Garden.

Our garden has a new sign fully installed! Thank you to Mr. Lines the BMS Tech Ed teacher for making the sign and Mr. Sanders and his facilities crew for installation. Be sure to visit our garden at open house (this coming Thursday 9/15) and sample some treats created with our crops.

The summer garden harvest continues

This week BES students made two batches of dill pickles with cucumbers from our garden! After the work was done, they enjoyed a fresh veggie plate with cherry tomatoes, a green pepper and cucumbers.

Yummy pesto made from basil in the garden

Ms. Joslin and kids from the summer skills camp will be busy this summer with the garden harvest and making bird feeders and gird houses. First batch of BES Learning Garden pesto!

Harvest Time

It was a short growing season this year due to it being the first time for the garden. However, we were able to harvest radishes in time for the kids to enjoy a colorful addition to their lunchtime salad.

Learning how to clean and prepare our veggies for delivery to the kitchen!

Delivery to Ms. Julie!  Learning how radishes are sliced for salads. Kate S., Brady V. & Demitrius T. All helped Ms. Julie in the kitchen. Ben C. Enjoying farm to table salad in school today!!
