Bean Races!
The highlight of Haggerty Garden Day were bean races. Yes, it will be a
S L O W M O T I O N race, but an exciting one nonetheless. Each class selected a variety of beans to plant under the trellises along the Lawn Street wall to compete in categories such as "First to sprout," "First to flower," "Tallest vine," and "First ripe bean."
In addition to planting beans, classes got an opportunity to observe the early fruits and vegetables growing in the garden, explore compost and compost critters, and learn about the growth stages of mung bean sprouts.
Good luck Bean Racers! And thanks to everyone for a successful Garden Day!
