During September- along with germination, lifecycles, seasonality, and “all about seeds”- we’re focused on concepts like depth, patterning, sequencing, spacing, measurement, teamwork, and following directions while planting our seeds for fall. #schoolgarden @OKCBeautiful

3rd grade is planting cabbage, brussel sprouts, fall flowers, and scallions in their garden bed. We’re working on measurement, depth, patterning, and examining the seed coat while planting with seeds. They’ll tend these crops through the cool season #schoolgarden @OKCBeautiful – at Oklahoma City, OK

Have you had a chance to visit our Trash Monster created by artists Gabriel Friedman and @deniseduong in partnership with @OKCBeautiful on display at Scissortail Park?   This sculpture sits near the corner of South Robinson and SW 15th Street and is made entirely from locally collected litter from OKC Beautiful clean-up projects.   Local artist, Gabriel Friedman designed the monster to bring attention to the ever-growing problem of trash on a local and global scale. A small girl, illustrated by Denise Duong, faces off with the head of a giant trash monster. The girl represents the next generation that will be forced to face the issue of trash pollution. She is facing it down to express that the next generation will have the courage to try to address the issue and make real changes.   In honor of #WorldEnvironmentDay today and their efforts to #BeatPlasticPollution, we wanted to reintroduce our Trash Monster as a reminder to help reduce, reuse and recycle.   As OKC Beautiful points out, consider the items you buy and how many. What could be reduced? Where are the options to reuse? What disposable items do you use that could be avoided? How can we use less stuff?   Join the fight against our monster of trash – don’t let him grow!   #TrashMonster #art #trashart #ReduceReuseRecycle #LoveThePlanet #environment – at Oklahoma City, OK

Last week, volunteers from DEQ and @OKCBeautiful planted 30 trees along the 12th & Robinson block. Planting trees mitigates urban heat island effect, benefits #AirQuality, and creates biodiversity. #Oklahoma #OklahomaCity #OKC #Environment #PlantATree

Soil sample examination as we learn about soil health and the causes of The Dust Bowl. Deepening our understanding of effects of soil erosion, the reasons why The Dust Bowl happened, and soil conservation lessons learned. School gardens are more than science! #oklahoma @OKCPS – at Oklahoma City, OK

Good morning! Great start to the school day in “compost corner”. Observing our hot compost piles in various states of decomposition and journaling about the organic matter we see. Making a list of greens (nitrogen) and browns (carbon). #science #schoolgarden @OKCBeautiful @OKCPS

In June, Inasmuch Foundation celebrated the ribbon cutting for Tabitha Community Park in NE OKC. We were one of many nonprofit partners who brought this park to life & are happy to share that the project was recently recognized at the Environmental Excellence Awards! 🧵 1/3
