When 44 school garden leaders visited Pajaro Valley Unified schools, they learned from the students. A 3rd grader at Amesti Elementary told of participating in Engineering in the Garden: 'We built a prototype for our trellis, we thought it would be strong, but when we tried it in the big garden, the rain knocked it down. Then, we had to use teamwork to change our design to make it stronger.' A 2nd grader at Starlight Elementary said: 'I love nature. And nature loves me!' On Dec. 6, Starlight Elementary, home to the new Emeril's Culinary Garden and Teaching Kitchen, founded by PVUSD, foundations, agencies, businesses and donors across the community, hosted lunch for teams from 22 organizations and agencies from 11 states attending Life Lab's School Garden Support Organization Leadership Institute.
