Whately School Strawberry Project
In May 2006, students from Mrs. O’Rourke’s 2nd grade class planted a 5’x15’ strawberry bed. Each student participated in the planting. Discussions pointed out the special needs for planting and care of the strawberry beds. Now, with the bed protected from winter injury with straw mulch, students look forward to harvesting and tasting fresh strawberries in June.
