Early spring at Hayden Meadows

Student green thumbs prep flower bouquets, baskets

Spring has arrived early at Hayden Meadows Elementary School. Under the supervision of teacher Vern Harvey, students have already begun preparing the school greenhouse for spring planting. The planting season commenced the second week of January when the school's garden club began unthawing and forcing tulips and daffodil bulbs for February bouquets. Beginning Feb. 7, fourth graders from Kristin Childers’ class started planting the geraniums.
