Decorating the Garden is difficult - weather and soil take their toll. Since this is an Environmental Science school, we certainly don't want to use toxic or unsustainable materials! Thus, the Scarecrow Project! Utilizing scrap lumber, old clothing, left over arts and crafts supplies, and fallen leaves as stuffing, our Garden Club members created some fine characters to watch over the winter garden. At the end of the year, we'll unstuff them and send the leaves to our compost pile. The bits not ruined by the sun, rain and wind will be stored until next fall, the rest thrown out, having had a second life entertaining us - I just doubt that any crows will be scared!
