Plant a Smile at Pelion Outdoor Classroom!

Leave the house and the screens and the constant refresh of numbers for a little while today. We have tasks to occupy your thoughts…and kitties.

Forecast looks OK for our last meetup in the garden for garden club! Parents, please make sure we have your contact info to let you know about winter meetups!

DROP OFF ANY TIME! Please do not leave them in the hellstrip--set them in the bed or wheelbarrows near the water barrels.

Turn this "garbage" into next year's fresh veggies and flowers!

Every kid deserves a collection of fall leaves too; I like to stuff them into whatever books we're reading and accidentally find them the next time we open the book.

Fans, if you're coming Saturday we will start cutting back all the veggie plants and harvesting lots of: CHARD, KALE, BASIL and other herbs. We'll have some annuals to dig out and pot up into pots that can overwinter in a cozy basement (i.e. NOT Ms.Caesandra's this year)

Definitely use your own composter or bury the pumpkins in your flower beds to replenish the soil nutrients. If you, or your neighbors, have extras bring them to the dropoff sites. NOTE: Pelion is the only site that will also accept your straw bales, corn stalks and bagged leaves too. SAVE THE DATE 9OCT to feed our worms.

Mrs.Reiss was intrigued by the color of the redbor kale so we encouraged her to find a recipe that featured raw kale to maximize the nutrition. This variety of kale will continue to darken as the temps get closer to freezy. Many recipes say once it's frozen overnight the fibers break down and/or it becomes less bitter.

REMINDER: Drop off pumpkins ANY TIME!

We would love a bat house at Pelion to help decrease the 🩸 sucking skeeters.

We had a super productive carving session! Over 30 designs submitted; narrowed down to SEVEN jack-o-lanterns. We hope these 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 will add some EEEK 😱 to the I Scream Social & Haunted Lockers tomorrow night. A very special thanks to folks that donated cider to last week’s potluck. We shared it all today with students and caregivers.
