Seaview Elementary Kindergarteners/1st graders and parent volunteers had a wonderful time planting in the rain and learning about companion planting. They chose a dedicated raised bed in the school courtyard to plant variations of pink, red, yellow, and white tulips. They added garlic and onions to help ward off predators such as squirrels! The kids loved picking out their bulbs to plant and sharing stories of their gardening adventures.
