from page A-1
greenhouse, and an irrigation system
was installed this year so volunteers
don’t have to water three times a
week, McKinney said.
“Our goal is to make this a space
so students in every grade level and
subject area can have authentic ex-
periences,” Williams said.
She added, “The garden becomes a
living laboratory for all the sciences.”
Participants will plant a pol-
linator garden to attract bees,
McKinney said. The students will
plant flowers that can be picked and
given away on Mother’s Day, she
said.
Some of the plant starts growing
in the greenhouse will be sold at the
club’s annual plant sale May 7 at
Harstine Island Community Center.
Lloyd Smith, the school district’s
director of facilities and mainte-
nance, gave the club members a
key to the gate so they can drive the
heavier items to the garden.
“Even during COVID, he was al-'
ways here,” McKinney said. .
The Pioneer Community Kiwanis
Club donated money to buy picnic
tables. '
Brett Lewis teaches students in
kindergarten through fifth grade.
On Friday, he watched his students
plant seeds.
“Every day, kids are asking if
we’re going out to the garden, and it’s
pouring rain,” he said.

is seeking new members. For more
