Gardening at Balboa Elementary

Picture
We are fortunate to have Mrs. Kelly MItchell volunteer to work with our second graders in Balboa's beautiful (and edible!) gardens.
According to Mrs. Mitchell:
Balboa is home to two very unique green spaces....in 1999, Balboa converted an unused kindergarten playground into our Library Garden. This spectacular space is home to a large variety of California native plants and trees. The garden has evolved over the years, but many of the original plants are still present.
During their gardening enrichment, second graders learn useful skills needed for planiting and maintaining gardens. Plus, using gardening as a lens, students learn biology, chemistry, and more

Follow our Facebook page in order to see Mrs. Mitchell's weekly garden updates.
