Springs Otay Ranch Academy for the Arts (ORAA) held its first Garden Build Day, reported Tami Foster, site facilitator. Parents, students and staff worked together to transform part of ORAA’s outdoor space into a garden with eight larger planter boxes which were built and donated by the Sebreros Family.
Program facilitator Nicole Oliveri has been overseeing the garden project and hopes to “help our students explore plant life cycles as well as learn how to care for them”. Students will have opportunities to water and tend to the garden boxes, which include strawberries, tomatoes, squash, herbs, and milkweed for butterflies.
