Learning from Renaissance

The Montclair High School STEM is working on raised garden beds to plant a vegetable garden in front of the 9th grade annex of the school. Before we could get any planting done we needed to take a look at some raised beds for an example. Luckily enough for us the school right across the street, Renaissance, has raised beds set up by the DIGS program (you can find them here http://montclairdigs.org/). So we took a little field trip for some inspiration.

Here is some garlic growing that was planted in the fall.

There were six raised beds growing an assortment of things such as peas (Pisum sativum), garlic (Allium sativum), radishes (Raphanus sativus), kale (Brassica oleracea) and even potatoes (Solanum tuberosum).

Lucky for us we even got to taste some radishes!
