On April 17, 2013 around 65 kindergarten and first grade students from Horace Mann visited the garden on a field trip. Students learned how to identify garden bugs, plant sunflowers and other seeds, compost, the importance of worms in creating compost, and how to properly harvest greens such as lettuce and kale. The students enjoyed adding worms to garden beds, sifting compost, mixing different types of compost, harvesting, planting sunflower seeds near the fence, and other activities. Master Gardeners and members of the ICG team (Marie Olson, Kay Snyder, Chloe Drew, Mary Masterson, and Tom Nowak) assisted with the activities.
