You may have seen lots of tweets about our amazing school garden, but did you know that we also have a "traffic garden"? HMES has the first school traffic garden in FCPS. Watch this video to find out more about it! youtu.be/7TwXBcOCB9o #bikesafety #pedestriansafety @FCPSR3

Let the lettuce harvest begin! @JessBuchanan18 @HollinMeadowsES @fcpsGet2Green

Meet the Lettuce Avengers! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️ Protecting our Thanksgiving Lunch salad, one garden bed at a time! Winter weather is not going to freeze our veggies!!

We had a great time out in the garden for our weekly garden lesson!

23 pounds and 5 ounces of #kidgrown produce came out of our #schoolgarden today and will be making its way to our #saladbar tomorrow! Thanks to @MsMeltonHMES 4th graders and @heidijrc1 for weighing our fruit and converting our total harvest! #schoolgardensrock #gardentocafeteria

We call this #celerychomping. Third graders clean out garden beds and plant #kale in prep for our #thanksgiving lunch! Who doesn’t need a little snack when working in the garden?! #kidseatgreen #nomnomnom #schoolgardens
