Greenhouse Continuation

· December 11, 2023 ·

 

This project was a continuation of our greenhouse project. In this project, students built tables for the greenhouse from lumber and power tools. There were two types of tables. One table was built to hold the seedling trays. The other table served as a potting table, where soil was placed and the seedling trays were filled and then placed onto the holding table. Seeds were planted and nurtured by younger students until their sprouts reached enough maturity to plant in the garden. Older students constructed four raised beds using materials on hand and purchased lumber and power tools. The seedling sprouts were then planted in the raised beds in “The Garden”. Watering took place by hand until the older students created an irrigation system that watered the plants using a timer.  Lettuce has already been donated to the local senior center in town. The same idea is for the vegetables we have growing now: tomatoes, carrots, okra, cucumbers, squash, potatoes, and water melon.
