Freya Hoffman-Terry visited the McKay K-8 School in East Boston to talk to the class about one of her hobbies, gardening. Students had prepared questions on index cards and they had many questions about gardening. She showed the team a map of the Somerville Growing Center, where she volunteers and passed small plants around for students.
The fabulous questions included: What is mulch? How tall can the tallest flower get to be? When did you start gardening and why? Which do you like better: soccer or gardening? What are your favorite flowers? What kinds of plants are easiest to grow?
Students then showed her the area that they planned to plant and invited her to the final planting. These pictures are of the planting day. A follow up clean up day is planned, as well as watering duties for the season!
