Students from the Hudson Montessori School have established an ongoing relationship with Case-Barlow Farm. Students have learned to care for the overgrown grape vines and have planted several new crops this year including apples, blueberries, and dahlias. In the fall, the students plan to use the fruits and flowers for their North House Micro-Economy projects.
In addition, the students planted over 300 sunflower seeds in conjunction with the Great Sunflower Project. More than 32,000 participants across the United States and Canada have signed up to plant sunflowers and count the number of bees that are attracted to the sunflowers in an attempt to quantify the number of bees pollinating food crops.
