Students make connections in school gardens. Our summer students at Payne ES learned about plant traits & discussed human-plant interactions via the exchange of oxygen and CO2. Cyrus summed up this plant love: 'We need them and they need us.' 🌱 #summerlearning DC Public Schools

Our DC Public Schools summer students are learning about new kitchen and garden tools - and how to use them safely. They used graters to grate apples, beets, and carrots for ABC Salad. Many are trying and liking this new food! 🍎🥕
