At the campus shared by Excelsior (middle school) and June Jordan (high school), behind the school garden lies a huge open field area currently used for nothing . . . but we are making plans!This semester the Food class at June Jordan took the first crack at designing the new garden space. Students listed elements we want in the new space, measured the space, and drew plans for their dream garden.
Inspired by the baby chicks and piglets we visited at Hidden Villa, the students incorporated a chicken coop and run into many of their designs. Lisa provided the garden design curriculum she's been working on, and teacher Mr. Olsson added a peer critique. Students used stickies to give feedback on each other's work.
Here are examples of students' designs (click on each one to see it close up for all the detail!):
