Joe's Wisdom - Planting Burnham School's Orchard

TOday the Enviro rangers planted gorgous apple trees. Joe taught us how to plant them. some of us planted three big saplings. Joe cut the bags around the trees. Then we pulled the trees out of the bags that Joe had cut and put them in the holes next to the sapling. Then we put the dirt the around the trees and also flattened down the part around the trees. Next we shoveled the rest of the dirt in to a wheelbarrow. After every thing was finished we found grass grubs . Joe told us to kill them all because they eat roots,grass and plants. by Kayla and Haden

Apple Trees Arrive

Today Sophie, Isobel and I (Brenna) of the Enviro rangers went to Evergreen nursery and bought 4 apple trees, 1 cherry tree, 6 vegetable packs and 2 flower packs for the orchard behind room 9 and the vegetable garden. We found 4 apple trees that have nice juicy apples.
