The Full Circle Farm staff waited eagerly as they watched the first group of sixth graders make their way toward the garden from a distance. Once inside the gates the entire group circled up for some guidelines and farm rules. The kids actively participated; making suggestions for future farm visits such as bringing bottled water or wearing a hat and sunscreen. Before Ildi Carlisle-Cummins even revealed the neatly written sheet of rules the students had already pinpointed them all, most importantly rule number one: be respectful. After going over the rules with the class the students began their tour of the garden first with a quick lesson on composting and the help of a brave student volunteer.
