Gardening with Beauvoir- Dec 2010

Beauvoir Students Make Fall a Time for Gardening
by Teddy and Theo, Beauvoir National Cathedral Elementary School, First Grade

December 2010

The (first-grade) Coyotes and Buddy Bison went to plant blueberry bushes. Buddy Bison did very well. He dug the holes with his hooves, but then he got stuck! Then we pulled him out. Buddy likes getting dirty. We planted the bushes in our Beauvoir garden, and we

knocked out the weeds. We can't wait to see our blueberries grow, and to eat them next year! Read Beauvoir students’ other essays about visiting the National Cathedral and the Air and Space Museum!
