Thursday October 22nd, Ginger and George from Clemson Extension brought us strawberries to plant. George explained to our Youth Advisory Council/ 4 H group (consisting of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders) how to plant up to the crown of the plant. Then they assisted this group plant the strawberries into our bed. The children enjoyed learning about the crown of the strawberry plant and how it acted like the lungs of the plant. Since it needs air and light, they were instructed to plant to the crown only. The bed was planted in a grafting pattern. Math and science lessons were intermingled with the fun. Pictures included.
