Garden Greens

During the winter and spring we still enjoy the garden's bounty -- even if our harvesting selection is a bit more limited. Greens are big winter and spring veggies, though... and believe it or not, kids love them! By the time they've grown, picked and cooked the greens themselves, even kids who swear they don't like greens, are open to trying them. And many come back for seconds!

Check out the greens we've been enjoying in our garden!

Fifth graders harvest romaine and red sail lettuce.

Completed salad: garden lettuces, radishes & calendula flowers plus sliced apples & sunflower seeds -- beautiful and delicious!

Kindergarteners wash Swiss Chard and kale in our new garden sinks!

Preparing greens for a stir fry is easy for kinder -- no knives needed, just tearing!
