Students in Mr. Bursch's Biology 1-2 class will soon be making full use of the WGHS GOLD main garden site to conduct the outdoor portion of a yearlong project in which they follow the life of a domesticated plant from seed to seed.
The seeds have already been sprouted and will be transplanted outside in four weeks. For more detailed information on The Story of the Seed project, visit the project website at http://storyoftheseed.blogspot.com/.

Garden Volunteers Needed Today, Friday June 29th!
Hi WGHS Garden supporters,
The Branch Manager tree service is kindly donating a truckload (several cubic yards) of wood chips (and other greener stuff) to use as a mulch on the pathways in our main garden. The load is being dropped in the teacher parking lot adjacent to the garden and we need wheelbarrows, shovels, and some eager volunteers to use them to move all of this chippered goodness into the actual garden space. If you can come by at any time today or tomorrow (regardless of who else is there) with a wheelbarrow, shovel, and some gloves and just move some cartloads anywhere around or near the boxes, we'll love you forever! The chip pile should be at school by noon.
Thanks,
Justin

Going for the GOLD
Just a quick note to point out a small but noteworthy change--"WGHS Gardens and Outdoor Lab" is now "WGHS Gardens and Outdoor Learning Domains" or "WGHS GOLD" for short. Red and GOLD certainly do make a beautiful combination!

State of the Garden
Yes, I know, it isn't a pretty sight right now, but remember, the cover crops we left in there were going to die one way or another (by tilling under or by frost). Leaf mulch has been applied to all beds to help keep in moisture from the scant winter rains.
The water source issue remains with no obvious solution on the horizon--whenever we need to water the garden we still have to connect 125 feet of hose to the science building and drag it across the staff parking lot to the garden area.
We (student volunteers and I) will start a late winter cover crop and some cilantro (coriander) within the next couple of weeks.
We will definitely be needing another big volunteer effort this spring when we make our next big expansion of the main garden (five additional beds). Keep your eyes peeled for updates.
