CHESTNUT SCHOOL TO SCHOOL IN THE GARDEN SCULPTURES

This morning, seeing the beautiful sun shining in the sky, we went merrily in the garden of Dr. Mario Pellone, we simply "Super Mario". Mario is a very special person, thinks that his hobby is being a doctor of the 118 in Teramo, but its quite another profession: farmer and beekeeper. Her garden is near our school and every opportunity we can to contact him and visit him. These days with the children we interviewed on the common desire to nurture and groom ('To the garden takes care' Matthew 5 years) and a vegetable garden on the need to seek some expert advice to farmers in the area! How could we not resort to the expert hands of Mario, always ready to welcome the precious children in its place, full of surprises to be discovered and known, but also of flavors ... Why will not let us go back to sc uola on an empty stomach! About two years ago, Mario came to our school to pick up a nest of bees in this garden, and children were fascinated by the man with a strange hat on and the pump "spray smoke" (see blog archive: year 2009, the month in May ) and now we're back to Mario with the intention of seeing our bees and maybe enjoy a good honey they produced. The morning is spent with Mario, who has elucidated the children on whether or not to plant certain vegetables and future farmers have discovered that each vegetable has its time of sowing: the garden is not as the supermarket where there's all that want! Then showed the children the tools they use to plow the land, his hoe, tractor, etc.. He pointed to the children present some vegetables in his garden and then conveyed their attention to the compost that used to produce fertilizer for the land. In this regard, he promised us he will come to school to teach us how to build and operate a compost bin and how useful compost to feed the produce. The most awaited moment however, was the meeting with our bees, we have "spied" by far our friends intent on making honey in silence and then ... honey bread and cheese deli, but snacks! !
