We created "Our Common Ground" as a school garden in the summer of 2010. At that time we had only a couple of tomato plants. Next year we expanded the garden and in addition to tomatoes we planted peppers, cucumbers, and green beans as well as a Butterfly and Hummingbird flower garden. We also planted sunflowers as part of a scientific challenge, offered from the Earth's Birthday Project. We enjoy caring for our plants and flowers, weeding, watering and watching them grow. It is fun and we learn at the same time! What could be better than that?
