In today's world, food and water are becoming more and more expensive because of the increase in population. In order to prevent a fresh food shortage (where there isn't enough food for everyone), community gardens are being established in cities.
Do you think community gardens could be successful here at MELS? Why or why not? What type of plants would you grow if we started a community garden at MELS? Before answering these questions, watch the video by clicking the link below.

-Coach Carbone
I think community gardens are an AWESOME idea! They provide a way for people within a community to connect with one another. They also provide a cheap source of fresh food. The vegetables I would grow are broccoli, peppers, and cherry tomatoes.
ReplyDelete-Coach Carbone
Hey Coach Carbone,
DeleteThat's a good idea. I think that broccoli doesn't taste good though.
-Jordan S.
hey coch carbone thats a great idea i think duke would like to do that. luis v.
DeleteHello Coach C.!
DeleteYou are awesome! I don't like broccoli, I like strawberries.
-Brandon P.
Hey Coach Carbone,
DeleteI think that it is a wonderful idea! I love broccoli and many more other vegetables,but not so much cherry tomatoes!
But i do think that they would provide a cheap source and we can save a lot of money.
-AmarilysA.C.
hey coach carbone,
Deletei think its a great idea!beacause it could help our school look more alive/natural.

Hello Coach CarBone,
DeleteI Think Thats A Great Idea! Because It Will Help Our School Look More Natural And I Love Broccoli........
Bryanna P.
I think it's a GREAT idea too! Gardening doesn't take a lot of work once you get the initial planting done and it is very inexpensive compared to buying fresh food at the stores or farmers markets. I wonder if there are any animals we would need to worry about eating our crops and how we can minimize that. I'd grow green beans, cherry tomatoes, lettuce and carrots. - Dr. Wilder
ReplyDeleteHello Dr. Wilder,
DeleteWe think gardens are a great idea because they are cheap. We think that some animals to worry about are raccoons and birds. We would grow bananas, oranges, and strawberries.
-Harvard
that's a good thing to say
Delete-PEDRO.D
HI Dr. Wilder i also agree with you
Delete-Keila.D:)
i think thats a good idea too plus we dont have to pay and the money can be saved for field trips also we know that we got fresh fruits to. eat-daviel G.
DeleteCommunity gardens are a great idea. These gardens would be successful at MELS because we would be really proud of growing something that we can actually eat and something that would make our outdoor spaces look beautiful. If we were to start a community garden at MELS I would plant cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, sunflowers, and lettuce. This community garden would also be well fertilized (give the soil more nutrients) because I hear there is a teacher and principal who ride horses and have a free supply of as much horse manure as we need.

Yes, i do agree that we should plant a garden because it would make our school look more beautiful than it already is!!!
DeleteIf we were to start one I would plant broccoli ,tomatoes,and corrots.
-Amarilys A.C.
I also agree with you MS.Brady it will be beautiful to plant vegetables in our community garden.

This is Duke's test comment.
ReplyDelete-Jose J.
I think its a really good idea and we should grow like carrots or tomatoes.... or something else
ReplyDeleteAngie P.
Deletei think when they start growing video games out of the ground
Delete- how are you suppose to grow video games out the ground ?
Delete- kassandra R.
you cant grow video games out the ground its impossible
Deleteit is impossible to grow video games out of the ground
DeleteThis sounds like a good idea , you can plant food in a green house or a backyard garden also it does't take up any chemicals that can harm our atmosphere.if i had a garden in will plant tomatoes, cucumbers, and a lot more.
ReplyDelete- Ashley D
Ashley i think its a good idea to plant tomatoes and more.
Delete- Kendra B.
Great idea to start the plants in a greenhouse and then transfer them outside. We could definitely save a lot of money by starting our plants from seed inside the school! You can count on me to help:)
DeleteMs. Field
Kendra i think so too and maybe we can plant tomatoes cherries grapes

Deletethats a great idea ashley i agree with you
DeleteYES MR.CARBONE I WOULD CAUSE PLANTS HELP US WITH A LOT OF STUFF LIKE ROSES, I LIKE ROSES CAUSE THERE SO BEAUTIFUL AND THEY SMELL GREAT OR OTHER PLANTS THEY GIVE US ATMOSPERE PLANTS ARE JUST LIKE TREES THEY SUCK UP CARBONDIOXIDE AND IT COMES OUT ATMOSPERE
ReplyDelete-BENNY E.
I think that is a good idea because roses do smell rather delightful and yes they do make the aroma smell good and it is good for are community at MELS . <3 :)
Deleteyes i think they can be successful like at mels .
ReplyDelete-arynda .k.
Hey guys that video rock i think we should do something like that they are real life savers
ReplyDeleteFrizell a
frizell i know right a lot of plants would give the world more food to other country's that dont got a lot of food
Delete-jordan s. but i still dont think broccoli taste good
yup good yes it was but i still dont like brocoli
Delete-Marcquise
Yes i think that is a good idea because it will make the school more nice and the first plant that i will grow in MELS garden will be a Sunflower because i like the yellow color of it and i think that it grows faster
ReplyDelete-jordan s.
Hey Jordan! I think that is a good idea. Sunflowers can also grow to be 8 feet tall.
Delete-Coach C.
I agree! - Ms. Brady
DeleteI think is great idea we can grow fruits and vegetable instead on spending money on buying vegetables and fruit at the store.
ReplyDelete- Kendra B.
that's a good idea
Deleteplants are good for our planet because it gives us way more fruits and vegetables and it's really good because it could help the people that are no having that much money for food at the markets
ReplyDelete-jordan s.
DeleteThis is Yale's test comment.
ReplyDelete-Coach C.
the community garden idea is a great idea because later on there is going to be an even bigger population in New York
ReplyDelete-Jonathan R.
i do think community gardens could be successful here at mels because it would be nice to have a garden in are playground.type of plants i would like to have sun flowers
ReplyDelete-anthony.l
that was a very good idea for growing that garden
ReplyDeletei think that a community gardan can be good for mels so we can help the earth more and start helping the enviorment
ReplyDelete-elijah.f
hey Elijah! i love your enthuseansome but i think its a bad idea because kids from other classes like 6b or 7 and 8th graders don't care and they might just step on the plants but i think we should give it a try just to see what would happen!!!
DeleteI Think Community Gardens Will Be Good Idea Because We Can Work As A Community While Were Making It . I Will Plant Fruits.
ReplyDelete-janeris c.
mr.carbone comes with good ideas i think that the community garden is a great idea and for the air to not be filled with bad stuff like smoke and bad stuff for people to breath.
ReplyDelete-elijah.f
I strongly agree with this comment because the community garden will be filled with nutrients and natural protein without that the air will be polluted like the water in the seas and ETC...

ReplyDelete-ashley f.g.
well yes we should have a garden for mels it would be good. we can grow carrots,apples,grapes.
ReplyDelete-GUSTAVO C.
Yes i think there should be a community garden at mels because i could be a cool idea to have a garden so when we walk to school we could probably ask if we could water the plants and we could probably plant some fruits like oranges and apples and bananas -Marcquise
ReplyDeleteYes a community garden is a good idea because it will make our school look more beautiful. We would grow roses and tulips as well as carrots and broccoli.
ReplyDelete-Coach C.
I am amazed by all the great suggestions. If you want a garden, and want to design a community garden, I will help get you the supplies you need.
ReplyDeleteKeep dreaming BIG! You are all making this school a great place to be!

DeleteCommunity gardens are a fantastic idea!! I would definitely set aside an area for some fresh herbs. It would be really great see how we could use them to bring out some culinary talent in our MELS community!
ReplyDelete- I think this is a great idea :)
DeleteMe two
DeleteCharlie.B
I couldn't have said it better myself!!!
ReplyDeleteI said no because the soil from outside is very hard and it cannot be a garden because we all play outside and we may step on it and the dirt is not good for those flowers and is not very healthy for those plant pedro c
ReplyDeleteNo MELLS should`t get a garden because the older kids might destroy it i will grow vegetables so will can be health kynzae t

Tosoils would be great for our community garden because it's great soil and it's moist and not hard like rocks.
