One potato per child -- and strawberries, too

Green Team gardeners each brought in one potato from home to plant in one of our newest garden beds. Parent Zivile Kudzin let the One Potato Per Child planting, which took place after the kids got back from the school-wide excursion to Warner Park for the annual Youth Service Day tree planting and Earth Day park clean-up.

Zivile also brought in some purple seed potatoes. Parent Vesna Kovach sent in some Russian Banana Finger potatoes and some strawberry plants from her home garden.

In addition to the potato bed, the children planted the new strawberry bed, a mix of the established strawberry plants and several rootlings purchased at Jung's garden store.
