Day #7: Sunshine & Water - Watch It Grow

MacRae surprises Mr. Becker with
a new garden-bell... and the fun begins!
Our last week of Gorge Grown Kids began with a ring!  For years Mr. Becker has wanted a garden-bell and once mentioned it to MacRae, years ago.  Today MacRae surprised Mr. Becker with his long-awaited wish.

But first, Lauren and Dani from OSU Extension Services discussed possible classes Gorge Grown Kids could participate in to learn more about canning preserves, growing chickens, and much more.

 Out in the garden, we are continuing to build vertical structures for growing vine plants, creating shade throughout the year, and keeping our production foods watered.

Materials found in a dumpster become an new arbor:
Gorge Grown Kids experience first-hand meaning of 'reuse'
Grow. Learn. Smile. Sun.  Every loved garden deserves well-wishes, so Shelly continues to share the wonders of Tyvek through creating flags with garden images and words of inspiration.
