Greetings educators,

I hope you're all doing well! This week's topic is soil and compost - as you probably know, these are the most important foundations for a thriving garden.

The soil test exercises take a few days, so give yourself enough time to complete them. These exercises are interesting activities to do with youth and families, so consider ways you can incorporate them into your programming later this year.

I see that some of you have submitted your hardiness zone exercises and journal entries from last week. For those that haven't yet, you still have a few days to submit them (until Thursday at midnight).

All the best,

Chrys
