Gardening club to a close...

Hi, it's Issano, Lisa, Alex and Roberto. We're all upset that the club is ending but excited about new clubs! This is possibly the last blog from the guardians of the garden. We don't get to see the new flowers bloom, BUT WE WILL SURVIVE, for now...So were signing off! Until Spring!!!

Brochure Time

Hi! It's Alex and Roberto here... We can't go outside yet. The garden is covered in snow and ice.  But luckily we're nice and toasty inside our school. Were making brochures about gardening.  This is our last week to finish our brochure. We both wish that this was not our last week.  Both of us would love to be out in the garden instead of being cooped up inside.
Take a look at a piece of our brochure, which also includes a map, and how to plant for crocuses, tulips and daffodils.
Here are the reflections we included in ours...

The gardening club was probably my favorite club in my years at P.S. 163. My favorite part of being part of the gardening club is that we were outside digging, planting, and growing. I also liked that I could be with my friends.

I liked being with my friends and planting flowers. I think the gardening club is my favorite club. My favorite part of gardening is raking.
- Roberto 

Stop by P.S. 163...You may be able to catch our brochures on display.

too cold for comfort.....

It's Pedro, Rhys, and Alex here from gardening163!
It's getting cold out and gardening has to be postponed.    
Snow is overtaking the garden and everything in it. Luckily, this means that the squirrels are in hibernation and they can't take advantage of the garden while we we aren't attending to it. But when spring comes, gardening163 will be back in business!
In spring, expect to see tulip's, crocus's, and daffodil's.
