Vista is lucky to have a great garden area. Part of it is reserved especially for the 3rd graders who read the picture book Roxaboxen by Alice McLerran and then get to create their own Roxaboxen in the garden. I love the fact that kids are given the time and space to create mud pies, plant vegetables, arrange rocks, and have a rich imaginative life. That is missing from so many childhoods these days.
The other day as I strolled through the plantings, I was shown this amazing gourd that is about the size of a big watermelon. There is also another cool gourd growing on the fence.

Thanks for the amazing pictures. That is an inspiring garden, just as Vista is an inspiring school.
