The Mason Crest Garden has had a wonderful summer! It was a hot and dry, but here's a list of what the garden produced:
Over the summer, one of our teachers pickled some cucumbers to give students an example of one way cucumbers could be eaten. Other vegetables were given to students who were attending the Kindergarten summer program. They loved taking home the cucumbers and tomatoes and surprising their moms with a flower!
The summer garden will continue to produce for a few more weeks and then we will clean it out and get it ready for the fall. Our Fourth Grade team is looking forward to using all of the marigolds in a fabric-dying project, just like the Native Americans and colonists. We will post pictures of our project later this fall!
Thanks for stopping by and checking in on the Mason Crest Garden. We hope you check by periodically to learn about what's new in the garden and how it's being used by the teachers, students, and community. Our goal is to make 2015-16 a BIG year!

- Green bell peppers
- Green tomatoes...every time a tomato started to turn red our neighborhood deer snacked on them
- Yellow squash
- LOTS of basil
- Rosemary
- Milkweed
- A pumpkin plant...which sadly won't make it to the fall
