March 4th 2017 – Taste of School Gardens
Join us for our premier annual fundraiser, now in it’s fifth year! We’re planning a spectacular showcase of all the good things growing in our gardens, with a special school-garden inspired menu created by some of Maui’s favorite Chefs. This year features some classic Taste of School Gardens Chefs as well as some new friends! Confirmed to date: Cow Pig Bun, DUO, Fork & Salad, Ono Gelato Creamery and Shack Cafe, Outrigger Pizza Company, The Restaurant at the Hotel Wailea, Spago, and Three’s Bar & Grill. This event has sold out in past years – get your tickets here.

Happening In the Gardens –
A Fun Review of Garden Lessons

Kahului Elementary School’s 1st grade garden classes recently held Garden Scavenger Hunts as a fun way to review the lessons they have learned so far this year. This includes identifying the parts of the plant; recognizing our insect and bug friends in the garden, and where to find them; using our five senses to discover sounds, smells, textures and colors (and tastes!) in the garden; understanding what “weeds” are, how to identify and remove them. (If in doubt, don’t pull it out!) Each pair of students was given a collection box containing a “checklist,” scissors and a “bug cup” with instructions to collect the following:

  1. A flower.  
  2. A bug, insect or worm.
  3. Two weeds – one per student.
  4. Something that smells/stinky.
  5. A heart-shaped leaf.

Support Grow Some Good
As we prepare for the new year of growing, our gardens are in need of soil amendments, irrigation updates and materials for small repairs and upgrades. If you would like to help provide for these and other supplies, contributions can be made through our website. Your donations are always appreciated by our keiki farmers!
