Nature is my classroom!

Mertensia virginica Virginia blue bells

 The first three weeks of classes have passed. Chemistry, Mathematics, History of Landscape Design, Entomology, and Speech and Communications are taking up much of our time. Also, our space for our individual gardens has been tilled and our class vegetable garden for the Terrace restaurant has vegetables started outside!

With all the exciting projects going on, once in a while it is nice to get away and explore the most valuable learning tool, nature itself. Jeff Jabco, our AMAZING teacher, was our guide in the exploration of Shenk's Ferry. This beautiful trail is right along the Susqhehanna river and is presently blossoming with native wild flowers.

Shenk's is a must see and I hope to check it out in the coming weeks for the Orchids that will be popping up!
