Plant Sale, Pond Progress, and Toolshed
The Clint Small Green Academy Plant Sale is going to be held on April 11 and 12. It will be on Thursday and Friday in the greenhouse from 9a-5p.We spread the days out and extended the hours to try and accomodate everyone give all of you enough time to buy plants. And since it is at the end of the week there is time to get them in the ground over the weekend! Our address is 4801 Monterey Oaks Blvd. 78749. The plants are natives grown by students or donated by Emerald Gardens Nursery. All funds go to support our programs. There are no district funds directly allocated for our elective classes. Here are some of our star student advertisers work.
We are also in the process of expanding or storage space for our growing tool collection as well as our spaces for studying native species on campus. Our new toolshed currently only needs the roof, shingles, paint and sealer. Here are some of the stages the shed has gone through. We constructed a pad for the shed, and truly made it a student project with numerous teachable moments and pieces needing to be "reworked".
All of the supplies have been purchased for our pond. We will soon have a working pump, and multiple aquatic species flourishing. We just need to find a power source. Thanks to Emerald Gardens Nursery and PONDS for all of their support.
