Welcome to the Covenant Classical Gardens! We have an exciting year ahead of us and our botany class will be taking advantage of the warm weather the Lord has provided us with! Our compost bin is now completed, and the greenhouse tables are under construction. A tiller was finally provided and we prepared the soil so we can begin planting our greens. Adam Jackson's orchard project has been completed and it is now our job to ensure that we maintain his work, and God's creation.

Using to much water? Check this out!
Not a lot is going on since the end of the year is drawing to an end. It is especially close to an end for myself as well as the rest of the seniors and Mr. Hardin who will be departing on our senior trip on May 15th. However one last project that Jake Stewart, Adam Jackson, and I have completed and are continuing to revise, is a watering system that will collect water from the rain to fill out water barrel. The water barrel is located in our greenhouse. Currently the bucket is resting under the condensation hose of the AC unit and a watering hose transfers the water from the bucket to the greenhouse. It is collecting about two liters of water per minute. Moreover, our goal is to tie in one or more of the gutters to out hose to collect a maximum amount of water. Stay tuned for updates on our project and be sure to stop by and purchase plants for your home garden. The plants and flowers are going fats so hurry in!
