Middle School Builders Club has been given the opportunity to plant and tend a garden plot at the Fairfield Community Garden. Students had orientation today with garden volunteers and will be planting the garden next Wednesday, May 15. Watering and weeding will take place throughout the summer with Builders Club advisors, Rachel Brown and Jay Thompson, and Fairfield Middle School Principal, Carly Marten.
According to Better Brain Nation Magazine, “Growing a plant involves various cognitive activities, such as planning, problem-solving, and learning about plant care” (5).
