Jeff Lowe > Yosemite - Oh, Christmas Tree This little tree has quickly become one of my favorite images. As many of you know, I had a too close brush with my mortality 8 months ago. This tree's imagery touches me...the fresh, new growth/life of spring and new beginnings, survival against the burn on the 'mother" tree behind and the freezing temperatures and snows of winter, survival and the thriving of the little guy against big odds, and, the bright green tips are like little decorations heralding folks to pay attention to the little tree that could.
Jeff Lowe > Sprouts Discovery Garden Part of the garden mid June. The whole-class beds are filling in nicely with native plants. The teepee has pole beans climbing. The rear area has zucchini and potatoes.
Jeff Lowe > Sprouts Discovery Garden A view from the entry area showing one of the three islands starting to fill in with various types of sunflowers and corn. Note the 12 foot tall sunflowers in the rear.
Jeff Lowe > Sprouts Discovery Garden This small portion of the garden is soaked in winter 2005 with the first fall crop planted and sprouting.
Jeff Lowe > Sprouts Discovery Garden This was the third wettest season on record. These gray beds became class plots for grades k-2. Lettuce is already sprouting. The California native plant border is not yet planted. Water everywhere.
Jeff Lowe > Sprouts Discovery Garden The orange temporary fencing was placed in preparation for installing the California native plant border. The border totaled about 80 linear feet with a depth of about 18&quot;. You can see the personalized name signs each child created for their plot.
Jeff Lowe > Sprouts Discovery Garden Children had regular input as the garden evolved in design and scope. Shoveling tons of soil, compost and mulch was a huge task.
Jeff Lowe > Sprouts Discovery Garden A view over the curly willow fence into a part of the student plots. A water outlet is in the foreground. You can also see 3 foot lengths of plastic pipe in the beds which helped the children organize the space in their plot. Before choosing seeds, children had to consider the eventual growth and size of the plant and where it should be planted considering its need for sun and space.
Jeff Lowe > Sprouts Discovery Garden This is the longest stretch of the newly planted California native border. Several different species of seeds were sown along with some plants which were carefully selected for a children's setting. Plants that were non-toxic, no thorns, fragrant and flowers that would attract butterflies and beneficial insects. The curly willow is woven into the wire fence and shorter branches were also placed as a barrier against soccer balls. Eventually a solid branch fence was built where you see the brown fence posts on the ground.
