The Garden System: A Visit to Mr. Leo's Garden

Our visit to Mr. Leo's and Ms. Zina's garden in Sedalia was amazing.  Ms. Zina is our wonderful cafeteria director, and her husband, Mr. Leo, is a master gardener and beekeeper. 

They are very giving and gracious people.  Hosting 50 children at their home to walk the garden, see the bees, and eat homemade zucchini bread and honey from their own hives was a gift to all of us.  

Mr. Leo knows many secrets about gardening in CO.  We saw many vegetables such as artichokes, cabbage, cauliflower, two kinds of kale, corn, pumpkins and peppers, to name a few.

The children helped me write a thank you note to them.  Each child created a vegetable  to put onto the letter.  

Our crew is learning about the system of the garden. When you come in to visit, please check out the garden timeline and the big ideas we are working on as we learn about this system and how each part impacts the whole garden.
