AALC teachers and families have been busy preparing the hoop houses for the upcoming school year. Intermediate teachers and students oversee the maintenance and use of a large hoop house near the main vegetable garden, while the Early Primary classes maintain a smaller hoop house within the butterfly garden.
Hoop houses enable students to work in the gardens year-round as they learn to grow plants even in winter!

Bird netting was installed over the frame to keep out a nearby
woodchuck until it's cold enough to add the tarp. |
