Our garden leaders worked hard cleaning up our garden after school today. We swept, took down dead vines, found more sweet potatoes, worked on the compost, and made everything look beautiful! Nice work garden leaders!❤️

Thank you Seed St. Louis for matching us with this hard-working group of people. We had our Cultural Festival at school today and the garden looked amazing! So many visitors commented about how beautiful it is, and that is all in thanks to this crew. ❤️ Thank you REV Renewables!

These first graders had so much fun watering our peas, lettuce, kale, and cabbage today! Our garden leaders in grades 3-5 are doing a GREAT job keeping everything alive!

Today was a great day in the school garden! A team of volunteers from REV Renewables worked so hard to spruce up our space for the growing season. They repaired and painted garden beds, put down a layer of mulch, and assembled a little greenhouse! Then our garden leaders planted lettuce, cabbage, and kale after school. 🥬🌿🌱
Thank you to Seed St. Louis for organizing our work day and thank you to Jaclyn Schremp Jezik for helping out all day! What a wonderful community we have.

Every student who bought a school lunch yesterday received a serving of our homegrown sweet potatoes lovingly made by our cafeteria workers. The leftovers were taken home by Mrs. Bridwell so her family could enjoy them for dinner. Thank you to everyone who made this experience possible!

We found MORE giant sweet potatoes! Our garden leaders helped Mrs. Bridwell clean out the garden beds after school today and we hit the jackpot! This round of potatoes will be donated to our school cafeteria so Crestwood students will be able to enjoy them.

First grade students are exploring the concept of communities, including community gardens. What better educational opportunity than utilizing our very own Crestwood Community Garden? These students helped harvest Corbaci sweet peppers and then recorded their observations using their 5 senses, including taste!
