We were very excited to start the NCCS Garden Class this past Friday. Students got to choose one of the offered topics and 11 Primary and Early Elementary students chose the Gardening Class. We learned what ingredients make up a good soil and then we got to mix our own potting soil. Our focus was also on one part of the plant that we eat; leaves. So we planted lettuce seeds and should see them come up by next Friday. Stay tuned!
