The pre-kindergarten students are taking part in a very special learning tradition at Belmont Day–The Great Potato Harvest! Each fall, our youngest learners visit the garden to explore the many kinds of food growing there. This year, we noticed marigolds, tomatoes, and lots and lots of potato vines. Children helped to clear the vines away, which is the first step in the harvest. Then, they dug into the soil and found lots of potatoes! Chef Lightbody will store the potatoes for a few days, and then we will get to taste them once they are all cooked up. A delicious, healthy, and fun lesson from our first few visits to the garden. There will be many more throughout this school year!
