Seekonk High School Science Club News

The Science Club has been busy this fall. The Roots & Shoots Group has planted flowering perennials and herbs in one of the raised beds in the courtyard to support pollinators. They will be planting milkweed in the other bed to support monarch butterflies in the spring. The Greenhouse group has been composting vegetable waste from the cafeteria on a regular basis. They have also been growing Swiss Chard, pea tendrils and bean sprouts in the greenhouse for the Culinary classes to harvest and use in December.
