Unable to put anything into the still-frozen soil outside, we toured each of the classrooms at Douglas school to show them the seeds we received as donations from various seed companies, including Baker Heirloom, Southern Exposure, and many more. We introduced ourselves and let the students pick out what they want to try to grow, took notes, and talked about the importance of growing food. Some classes were more receptive than others. A couple offered open interest and even described some experience, others refused to even lift their faces off their desks or reply to anything we said. For the most part, though, they came around and seemed to enjoy us, or at least the prospect of getting outside and trying it. This has since become one of my favorite current places to garden. -Rox
