Gardening with 3rd grade Students
Following a program developed by the Wayne County Extension Service the Agriculture Agent in Clinton County partnered with the 3rd grade teachers at Albany Elementary School to implement a raised bed school garden. The Agent along with two high school FFA members constructed the beds at Albany Elementary. The 3rd grade students then had the opportunity to plant and grow broccoli at their school. Each student had a broccoli plant as part of the fall garden project. The Ag Agent and FFA students harvested the broccoli and the 3rd grade students had the opportunity to try their own produce on a broccoli pizza.
