The Community Garden Organically Fertilizes Young Minds in Northern Nevada

 

The Winnemucca Community Garden was abuzz on Wednesday April 22nd, otherwise known as Earth Day. Several primary classes from Winnemucca Grammar School, Sonoma Heights Elementary School, and a cadre of home schooled students visited Winnemucca Community Garden to learn about many aspects of our environment. Fifty-four volunteers from around the community taught kids about the water cycle, art in the garden, the food web, and made pine cone bird feeders. Kids raced to pick up trash and put the litter in the proper recycling bins. They also learned about Sun safety by making sun bonnets and weed warrior helmets. Children learned about the importance of nutrition by making “munching bunny” salads, and even Smokey the Bear showed up to hug the kids and teach them about fire prevention.
