Today at Fairmont Park Elementary, second and fifth graders learned about the process of pollination and bees within their garden. The students were quick to point out the newly blossomed squash flower and all noticed that bees played a huge part in creating the plants that feed us. Not only are bees great for making honey we eat, but fruits and vegetables too!
This blog follows the building, cultivating, and harvesting of the Fairmount Elementary schoolyard garden in St. Petersburg, Florida. Since January 2009, the Edible Peace Patch Project has been developing innovative community-oriented food system and nutrition educational programs in south St. Petersburg, Florida. Fairmount Park Elementary, founded in January 2014, is the 7th school to participate in our Garden Education Program (and the first Peace Patch Garden to be shaped like a peace sign!).
