Garden time is class time. Raise your
hand to take turns answering questions. Use inside voices so you can hear
your leader and classmates, and the classrooms around you are not disturbed.
When your leader is speaking, listen
carefully. Always ask if you are not sure what to do or if you would like
more information.
Walk only on the wood chip paths, grass,
or blacktop. Garden boxes are not for sitting or standing on.
Garden tools are carried with the sharp
points pointed down. Garden tools are put in the soil with the handles
pointing up when they are not being used. Misusing a tool could land your
tool in a timeout.
Always stand at the bottom of
compost and mulch piles and scoop from
the edge along the ground.
Climbing on piles spreads the piles and could
result in accidents.
Pick
flowers and food only when your leader asks you, and after your leader
has shown you how.
"Don't judge each day by the
harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant." Robert Louis Stevenson
