Manzanita Elementary Garden Project 
Lincoln Elementary Garden Project
Students of Manzanita Elementary School will be allowed to work together in preparing, planting and tending a garden in the empty space behind the library. Grades/classes will work together sharing in the experience and responsibilities of gardening. In grades, students will be given different seeds in order to plant a garden. Together, students will plant their seeds. They will participate in preparation, planting, watering, and weeding the garden. They will also need to keep track of the growth of their plants over time and record their measurements on a growth chart. Upon completion of the harvest, each student will submit a one page report explaining their findings.
