Prepping for Fall with Schoolyard Gardens

Hard to believe it, but we are in August folks! For educators everywhere this signals starting anew and your schoolyard garden is no exception.

As a member of the Schoolyard Gardens (SYG) Program there are a few things we need you to add to your to-do list –

  • Complete your Annual SYG Enrollment Form – A link to do this will be sent via email to your school garden’s primary contact. Re-enrolling in our program keeps your information up to date and ensures the right people receive all of our latest communications. Please note that we have totally revamped our enrollment form, so if you encounter issues, let us know so we can fix it!
  • Make a Planting Plan & Order Your Fall Plants and Seeds – Use our Fall Planting Planning Sheet which shows you how many seeds and transplants can fit in one raised bed or select one of our easy peasy Premade Planting Plans (scroll to the bottom of the linked “Digging Deeper” page). If you’d like a little more detail on each of our varieties before making your decisions, check out our SYG Crop Varieties resource. Once your planting plan is complete, you’ll be able to place your order online using the order form link sent to your email. The Fall order form is open from Aug. 1st – Sept 7th and we suggest planting between Aug. 22nd – Sept. 9th.  Check out our How to Make a Planting Plan Video if you need more assistance.
  • Attend our Fall Planting Demo Workshop – If you or your school is new to SYG, please join us for our hands-on Fall Planting Demo Workshop. We’ll go over tips and tricks for planting with students and answer any questions you might have about fall gardening. Workshops will be held here at our KCCG headquarters (6917 Kensington Ave. KC, MO 64132) at 9-10am. If you are a school educator please RSVP here for our Saturday, Aug. 6th workshop. If you are a LINC professional, we’ll see you on Tuesday, Aug. 9th!
  • Clean Out the Weeds – If your garden became a jungle over the summer break, follow our How to Clean Out a Weedy Garden sheet to get your garden cleared out and ready for fall planting. Consider enlisting the help of your school community to assist with this task if you’re feeling overwhelmed.
  • Plant your Fall Garden – Last but not least, put your seeds and plants in the ground! If you’d like a refresher on planting, check out our How to Plant Your Schoolyard Garden video. If you’re not planning to grow a fall garden, please let your SYG coordinator know.

     

    As always, please contact your SYG coordinator with questions. Happy gardening all!
