This morning, Emily and I had a meeting with the volunteer coordinator at Polk. She seemed way into our idea to form a relationship with the school. We talked about starting herb gardens in each of the classrooms, bringing the kids to the garden for tours, teaching about compost and vermiculture, and even leading a cooking class. With the end of the school year coming soon, we decided it would be best to pitch the idea to the teachers at the first meeting of the next school year. Since Polk is a year-round school, this would allow us to work with them during the most important times of the growing season.
