Place Based Garden Class Kicks off with "Plants vs. Weeds" Class

Students consider the differences between plans and weeds.

Student discuss Succession as we look at the evolution of our place (WCS property).

Succession Information from http://www.exploringnature.org/

Students talk about distuirbances to this area and attempt to identify stages of succession on our property.



What once may have been forest or farm land is now occupied by our playing fields.



Although students identify the forest near the school garden as a young forst, they do find evidence of older trees near the brook.
