Last week, Locust Valley Middle School students got outside and enjoyed the beautiful gardens on campus during the eighth annual Garden to Table lesson, led by Tina Hament and volunteer high school students. The event focused on teaching students how to grow different types of fruits and vegetables, as well as maintaining the growing flowerbeds.
During the lesson, which is part of the nutritional unit of their health classes, students identified types of plants, removed weeds, created compost and went home with a seed of their choosing to grow over the summer.
