At
the end of the 2004-2005 school year, our school children embarked
on an exciting adventure in experiential learning. Our students
planned and planted their own vegetable and flower garden. The
plot occupies an area alongside the parking and play area on
the south side of the building. At this writing (late June),
the garden was flourishing despite the hot weather. The Garden
of the Angels enjoys excellent sunlight and includes a watering
system, paths, floral borders and accents, and a variety of
vegetables. The plan is that returning and otherwise visiting
students will be able to experience the "fruits" of
their stewarship of a little part of God's beautiful creation.

from the southeast, the garden occupies a long expanse of
former grass border between school and play area.

Marigold
borders, stepping stones designed by the students, water
conserving mulch, dahlias, and sunflowers make the garden
an inviting retreat.

One of the garden paths meanders among cabbages, tomatoes,
turnips, and other vegetables, and past a pyramid of pole
beans.
