Join us at the Tappan Garden to prep the outdoor beds for students learning. This winter the students will be comparing two methods for organic mulching: (1) spreading straw and (2) planting a winter rye cover crop. If you have some time to spare and you’d like to see what Agrarian Adventure is all about, come out and dig in! Remember to dress for the weather (we're out there rain or shine), but don't worry because -- no previous experience is necessary and we have tools and gloves for all!

Thanks to everyone who helped make it possible for science classes to use the garden and hoophouse as a tool for learning in class and for healthy eating during school lunch! Students planted and harvested salad greens and radishes as part of their Ecology units in Life Science this spring.
Agrarian Adventure has been educating middle school students about healthy eating and where food comes from since 2004. The garden and hoop house at Tappan Middle School provide an outdoor classroom used in almost every subject taught at Tappan. New, in the spring of 2011 all of the 7th grade science students planted, harvested and washed over 150 pounds of lettuce and 50 bunches of radishes that were served in lunch rooms across the school district, the first local school garden-to-lunchroom collaboration with Chartwells, a national food service.
The Tappan Garden & Greenhouse relies on a number of community caretakers for water, weeding, and many other kinds of love, especially over the summer.
