Today is our second day of Community Gardening Adventures in Science Elective Class here at Stewart Middle School. Because many of our new class members have never gardened before we are going to spend some time figuring out WHY would anyone want to participate in this activity.
We brainstormed in partners, groups and as a whole class why someone would want to grow food/garden or participate in activities like this. Here is what we came up with:

We also watched some very awesome videos about community gardening, the politics of gardening, and an example of one in Juneau Alaska!.
