May the fourth be with you!

In celebration of Star Wars Day, Grace and I grabbed our Jedi gear and brought “the Force” to schools in Waterloo.  We drove our ship to Cunningham Elementary’s garden club, where we worked with our padawans on starting seeds.  Next, we following the stars to Irving Elementary, where we discussed plans for their raised beds (and the importance of the light side and the dark side… specifically, how much sun certain plants need).  Thankfully, we came across no smugglers as we finally traveled our way to Lowell Elementary, to work with a team of teachers to clear weeds and incorporate coffee grounds into the beds.
