The delightfulness of Lavender Oil

The precision of getting the lavender oil

Orca lavender has been marinating in mason jars for two months. Now it is a delightful scent that students get to take home! I got these cool perfume testers and we filled them up with the lavender oil from plastic droppers. All the lavender came from the Orca garden!

Pen Pals in India & Indian Garden Project

November 15, 2011 · Filed under Uncategorized

I am headed to Hyderabad, India to build gardens at a school. I will also set up wormbins, rain barrels, and will be educating teachers about how to share this resource with their students.

Matt & Mr. C’s classes have become pen pals with two of their classes. The 1st letters from them arrived yesterday here, and it was pure mayhem when they arrived- we have been waiting almost a month! Orca students even got a picture of their pen pal.

Happy!

Pen Pals!

This project has been an amazing cross cultural connection and Orca students are getting ready to send their 2nd letter w/ me when I leave Friday. It’s an amazing opportunity to be able to bring a bit of orca with me 10,000 miles away. I hope to lay the groundwork for doing these type of projects around the world.
