Oak Grove Garden Class 2024-25

Full Circle Gardening

Enjoy this special end-of-year booklet by Garden Teacher and Consultant Arianne Swaffer. Under her thoughtful guidance, students learn how the garden is a place to care for plants and soil while caring for oneself. This year, the garden was a place for calming morning fires and soothing teas. It was also a place of diligent work as students explored planting and harvesting, making health drinks, incense, pickling, and learning about what makes healthy soil.  Included in the booklet are examples of student work along with gardening tips, recipes, and more!

Thank you, Arianne and students, for a magical year in the garden and beyond!
