Today many people came who sponsored this program. We are immensely grateful to them for the time they spent talking to us and the interest they have shown in our program. Today was also a special day because Mrs. Celia gave us a demonstration on the bees she keeps in her garden. Everyone was really interested in the bees. Thank you Mrs. Celia!
Kimberton: This morning we harvested carrots and twisted the tops off of them. We also weeded the squash and zucchini.
Sankanac: At Sankanac this morning, they harvested beets and twisted the greens off of them. Everyone was delighted that they got to watch the pigs eat the greens! They also weeded one bed of lettuce.
Charlestown: The group at Charlestown harvested tomatoes and made pizza--and took every opportunity to rub it in our faces.
This afternoon we all visited the bees in the Kimberton Waldorf School garden. Celia Martin, the gardening teacher at KWS, talked to us about bees, how a hive works, and why bees are important for the garden. Without bees, none of the plants would get pollinated and if that was so, they couldn't bear fruit. Many, many plants would not be able to grow here if it weren't for bees. Their importance is immense and often unrecognized. She also opened a hive for us to see the bees, honey, pollen, and larva inside. You can get a look at our brave bee keepers in this video:
