The Orion School is now a strategic partner with The West Atlanta Watershed Authority. We had an informative and engaging curriculum extension visit there yesterday were we saw aquaponic gardening first hand, a first rain garden, a frog pond and "pet" hissing cockroaches. We are going to partner to work together to alleviate watershed issues in and around the school. Our friends at WAWA are also going to help us get more rain barrels so we can collect even more water for our growing Greenspace with Grace outdoor classroom!

We give back to the community...straight from our garden
Our students donate fresh fruits, veggies and eggs (all from Greenspace with Grace) to Action Ministries Atlanta Women's Community Kitchen
Recognize these from anywhere? (Hint: see the pictures above)

The story of a bird habitat
First we grow gourds...
Then we cut holes in them, clean them out and let them dry...
Then we paint them...
Then we hang them and...
Hope a little friend finds it and moves in...
