Georgia Gardener

Pass it on

21 years ago

Some of you may remember that in the Spring of 2004 I taught a gardening course in my back yard for honor students from CSU (which is where I work) I was posting often looking for wisdom and advice as it was the first time I had ever done anything like that and I was quite nervous. (It's a lot diffrent than teaching in the classroom like I normally do).

Anyway, this afternoon I ran into one of the students who was in my class. She went on and on about how her tomatoes were growing this spring. She was so excited about her garden.

It really made my day.

Congratulations, Jayman. I remember your class last year and all the pictures you posted. How cool to run into one of the students. Will you get to teach the class again?

It looks like I may do it again in the Spring of 2006.

Jayman, you might be interested in this recent article in the New York Times about a high school teacher who has been very successful at interesting students in gardening. Sounds like you have a lot in common with this teacher.
