The vegetable garden outside the Truro Public Library is full of peppers, potatoes, zucchini, and winter squash, and local kids are keeping an eye on the harvest. After all, they had the library’s garden well on its way to being planted up before school was out for summer.
On a sunny May afternoon, some 20 students in the recreation dept.’s Out-of-School-Time program were ready to dig in. First, they stood in line for a smear of sunscreen. Then, they formed a circle as Truro resident and Sustainable CAPE educator Sarah Naciri guided them in a warm-up: arm swings, arm circles, wrist rolls, a side body stretch, and a quad stretch. They punctuated this series by doing frog jumps to the center of the circle.
After the warmup, Naciri, whom the students call “Miss Sarah,” doled out tasks. There was some heavy lifting to do: several 30-pound bags of composted cow manure had to be moved from the trunk of Naciri’s car to the garden. The students carried the bags in pairs from the parking lot to the garden, taking breaks along the way.
