Garden Update


After only 11 months of planning, fundraising and constructing, we are thrilled to announce that the BES garden has been growing wonderful vegetation, such as lettuce, green beans and tomatoes that are now making their way into the cafeteria to be served at lunch to the students.

The BEF Garden Committee at Bonsall Elementary is currently looking for volunteers to help with the garden throughout the year. Parents can sign up in their classroom or email Rachel Thomas, BES Garden Committee Chairperson at racheldee11@gmail.com. Classes will start pulling out old plants and getting their class beds ready for fall planting. J.R. Organics is donating lettuce, kale and swiss chard star ts, sugar snap peas, carrots and other seeds to plant. Additionally, this year we will begin composting soon with compost bins as well as worm bins.
