and plants purchased. Students visited
Home Depot to buy more wood, which
they cut into boards to create separate
plot sections. They chose plants
that would have either symbiotic
relationships, or at least not harm
each other or compete for resources.
Sections were filled with tomato
plants, basil, and even a rose bush. The
rose bush, which was separated from
the other plants, carried the potential
of blooming roses for prom!
The community garden project is just
one of many examples of students
thinking outside the box and taking
initiative in their Trevor education.
As Mr. Zheutlin shares, "We discussed
as a class, plotted out a garden, and
started to make it happen, bed-by-
bed and plant-by-plant. They've fully
taken ownership over the experience,
and wrote a grant to propose a small
amount of funding from Trevor to
help make it happen. This experience
was Trevor at its best." The students
had an incredible experience getting
their hands dirty and growing their
garden from the ground up, and they
will forever have a tangible place to
return to, to see the fruits of
their labors. n
