LONGWOOD TEACHERS PARTICIPATE IN GLC

6 teachers from Longwood went to visit Lakeview School Garden in Oakland as part of the Growing Learning Communities program. We saw how beautiful their garden is. They have about 10 large planter boxes filled with flowering plants like geranium, salvia, and petunias. We did an activity in the garden. We learned how to gently shake the leaves of a plant onto a cardboard tray to trap insects that we could examine. I found two spiders, a ladybug, a leafhopper, ants, inch worm larva, and aphids.
